Accepted early to U of Illinois Business; nervous about 7th semester grades

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys, first post on this forum. I'm really nervous about my grades this semester. I got accepted to Illinois' Business school for the upcoming school year with a 4.13 GPA and 31 ACT at a very competitive Illinois HS, but my grades this semester are pretty down. They could wind up anywhere from a 3.2 - 3.6 (technically, 3.0 or 3.8 are possibly, but very unlikely). I am enrolled in 4 academic AP classes, so my strength of schedule is very difficult. Most people tell me not to be worried as long as I keep it at a 3+, but my counselor said I should be nervous if I get even 2 C's in AP Classes (which would be a 3.6, at best), given that U of I's business school is very selective.</p>

<p>Should I be worried about my grades right now? Is there a chance that they would revoke my acceptance (to the business school, or the school period) if my grades are in the low-mid 3's, given the difficulty of my schedule?</p>

<p>Let me know if I left out any important info. Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, is it important that I accept my admission soon, assuming I’m sure I want to go there?</p>

<p>Anyone have anything to say?</p>

<p>I think they look at full senior year. I don’t think they ask for mid year grades. If you live in Illinois, they are having a Meet the Dean session in Chicago and I am sure similar questions will come up. You can also post question on the Illinois Blog to admission and get their thoughts.</p>

<p>Well, they definitely get my semester grades sent to them (and I’m assuming my 2nd semester ones as well, but they don’t care much about those I know as long as they aren’t TERRIBLE). I just don’t know how much stock is put in 7th semester grades after early acceptance.</p>

<p>I really, really doubt your acceptance will get rescinded. Just don’t get any Ds</p>

<p>you think it’s really just that simple man? idk…</p>
