Yo, Kenyon folks,
what’s the probability of my acceptance getting rescinded after getting a C on my third quarter report card?
Currently very stressed about this thought.
Schools get your final transcript, so typically your final semester grade, not quarter grades (unless your regular transcript shows quarter grades).
No one can predict what a specific school might do, but general advice is no D/F grades or misdemeanors/felonies or suspensions/expulsions.
A C which is just an interim grade and does not appear on final transcript will not be a problem. Try to get the semester grade up to B-, and you should be fine. Schools understand that seniors lose a little motivation after it is all done, and those As can drop. But don’t go crazy.
I would not stress about it. I don’t think they will focus on one grade when they have already admitted you based on a much longer record of strong academic achievement.
Relax. Not going to happen.
