<p>Hi, I am currently in the IB program and I just got my letter of acceptance to University of Michigan - Ann Arbor College of Engineering.
The letter said in 1 sentence that any serious decline in academic performance may make them withdraw the admission decision.
I was wondering what they meant by this? I mean how low can my grades go before they feel that it is too low for me to be admitted? Im really worried about this.</p>
<p>first of all, congratulations on your admittance!!!!
U. Mich is a GREAT school, especially its engineering school.<br>
Anyways, most (if not all) colleges have this policy: if your grades fall dramatically, it may be grounds for rescinding your admission. For example...if you were earning mostly A's and a few B's, but at the end of the year your senior transcript had mostly C's and a D or two, then you should be worried. However, since you were good enough of an applicant to be admitted, I have good faith that keeping decent grades for the next few months should not be a difficult task for you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply. The thing is taht I am doing the IBDP and I assume that they will be checking my grades based off my performance on the IB grades. Is this assumption correct?</p>
<p>work really hard and you have nothing to worry about</p>
<p>and congrats---you got into a great school</p>
<p>I just talked with my counselor and he said that my final transcript will include my mock exam grades.
In my school every class is given a grade out of 7 (for the IB).
The thing is that my grades last year total were 35, 33 and this year it was 32 at the mid year. I think that my next report card will only have 32 max (cause i kinda screwed up my mock exam). If my next report card show 30ish then could Michigan deny my admission? Is this considered a significant drop?</p>
<p>Relax. One of the posters already gave you an example of what a "significant" drop looks like. Try to have some fun balanced with your remaining high school studies!</p>
<p>make sure you remain over 4 out of 7 and you should be fine. work hard for your mock examens.
congrats though!</p>
