<p>Hello fellow Yellow Jackets,</p>
<p>I was accepted to Rochester for the Fall of 2013 in the class of 2017 (YAY!). </p>
<p>My grades have always been mostly A's with a B here or there. As this years grades are starting to wrap up and are finalized for the most part, it looks like I will be getting all B's and one C in History. In the past, I have been getting mostly A's in History although I got a B in the first semester of this year in History. The issue is, I really haven't been completely slacking off and I do not have a bad case of senioritis. With all my classes being IB classes it really does become hard to get A's. </p>
<p>Does it look like my admission will get rescinded? I have been stressing over this a lot lately and it does not seem to leave my mind. Even during my IB tests today all I could think about was not being at U of R next year because of my messing up of my history grade. I really am looking forward to becoming a Yellow Jacket and I don't want anything to screw it up. </p>
<p>Anyone have answers?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I’ve been told that as long as you complete all of your coursework, you’re fine. Just to be safe, I would get above an 80 in everything, with a cumulative 2nd Semester GPA of at least a 3.0 (85ish). All of this is unweighted.</p>
<p>Common question. Don’t screw up really badly and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the responses!</p>
<p>Does anyone else have additional information. I would really appreciate a few more view points. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Unless your overall performance has dropped significantly (you go from a 3.6 GPA to a 2.0 GPA), or you fail or get a non-passing (D) grade in a required or major elective class, your acceptance isn’t going to be rescinded.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response. Well it seems my GPA will drop from a 3.8 unweighted to a 2.8 unweighted semester wise. As for my overall GPA it will probably be a 3.7 or so unweighted. Do you think that drop is significant enough? I’m hoping it is not!</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>I’m you’re sincerely concerned, you might reach out to your assigned admission counselor.</p>
<p>And while I’m sure that the admissions isn’t gonna be thrilled by the big drop in your semester GPA, it probably won’t be a deal breaker. </p>
<p>If you did get a merit award, the GPA drop might possibily affect that. Again, if you have concerns, reach out to your admissions counselor.</p>
<p>If you’re not sure who your counselor is, you can look that up here:</p>

<p>As an outside possibility, you could end up starting your first semester on academic probation. I have seen that happen…</p>
