2nd Semester ¡Senior! Grades

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay. We're second semester seniors. Now it's the waiting game.</p>

<p>Though I am not wishing to do such a thing, but out of complete curiosity, just how low can your grades go this semester? My counselor told me usually colleges (notably the elite ones) prefer that you kept above a 3.0---WEIGHTED.</p>

<p>I'm applying to some prestigious liberal arts colleges and was merely curious.</p>

<p>You're near the end of the road here. No reason to bail out now. Just keep working to the end.</p>

Yeah, but there's no reason to not have a few more breathers than last semester. :p</p>

<p>I would try to stick to a 3.0 UW w/ no C's...at least for the elites.</p>

5

<p>i have so many B's right now, at least in 3 classes! or 4. <em>shrug</em></p>

6

<p>You know what they say about Senioritis. We'd fight for a cure if we weren't so lazy.</p>

7

<p>If you're already in, just keep your GPA above 3.0 or so. Try to keep your grades at Bs or better, though one C probably won't kill you (I wouldn't risk it though, and frankly it's really easy to slack off and still get above a C).</p>

<p>senioritis has hit...HARD. and it's taking forever to see acceptance letters in the mail!!</p>

9

<p>all As thankfully. But my grades did drop in general.</p>

<p>I find that it's hard to slack off. I either do the assignment and do a half-assed job (as usual) and get an A, or I don't do the assignment in which case I get a 0, and my grade drops substantially. So I just do it. With that said I don't have to study for tests as hard. That's really it.</p>

<p>Shinzo, same here. I turned in two papers to AP Lit today...two weeks late (luckily our teacher is really forgiving -- it's insane)</p>

<p>We have a month and a half to go till April 1 !!!!!!!</p>

<p>That is how I feel exactly! It's not hard to get A's...it's just time it takes to do the work, which can't really be avoided without doing it at all.</p>
