<p>Hi, I've been basically slacked off for the first half of the second semester...and I think I'll probably get B's in all of my classes (maybe except 1 or 2).....
I've been getting all A's during my entire high school and now...I dont think 5 B's will look that good:(</p>
<p>Would that affected their admission decision? (got a likely letter)</p>
<p>N O</p>
<p>No, don't worry, senior year matters a lot less than many people think. I was nervous too, but it's really hard to get an admission rescinded, just don't get several C's or any D's.</p>
<p>I was really worried; hwww. Thank you guys..</p>
<p>As long as you stick to As and Bs and avoid have more than 1 or 2 Cs, you are ok. But you do not want to get too many Cs. And if you get any Ds, you will be asked to explain why. So do not slack too much.</p>
<p>It's fine, second semester means nothing. It's only if you have a really big scholarship taht you should try to make all As and Bs. Because if you apply to a really good school like Cornell, and you start making Cs, they will make you explain why and decide to rescind your acceptance according to how reasonable the excuse seems to be. For example if someone you cared about died recently and that's why you have 2 or more Cs, they will mostly likely be lenient.</p>
<p>May I add they almost NEVER rescind people's acceptances. Think about how unfair that would be.</p>
<p>she hasn't been accepted, only a likely letter. however, i do not think that your grades this past semester will matter unless you were deferred ED.</p>
<p>Yes but these are her grades from SECOND semester. Meaning Cornell will not see them until after she has been accepted. A likely letter is as good as an acceptance anyways and it means that she is an outstanding candidate, making it even less likely that they will rescind.</p>
<p>Well, I won't have any C or D. BUt my grade report will be covered with B's.. Just wondering how Cornell would think of it..</p>
<p>Sorry to be picky, but are you guys POSITIVE that just one C in an AP class will not be grounds for rescinding admission?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I don't know where you get the idea that they're looking to rescind you acceptances. Going from a 4.0 to a 2.0, maybe. Getting Ds or Fs, perhaps. Even then you could probably just write a letter of explanation. There have been numerous other threads on this.</p>
<p>They almost took back an acceptance from a student at my HS last year. They gave him all these conditions, he had to write an apology letter, etc.</p>
<p>He now attends cornell, but is on academic probation i believe.</p>

<p>What were his grades like, web250?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure (or at least i've heard) that the only people who see second and third trimester grades are usually people in the registrar's office, and they only care if they see d's and f's. so don't stress. they understand that you're a senior whose worked their arse off in hs...b's def won't kill you.</p>
<p>Where'd you hear that, sweet_child? Is that specifically Cornell?</p>
<p>think about it. imagine, you send them their deposit, you tell all other colleges you're not matriculating there - and then, Cornell rescinds your acceptance, leaving you without a place to go in the fall? They'll probably be REALLY reluctant to do that, they realize what they're doing.</p>
<p>Besides. In my case, for example, we only had APs available to us senior year, with the exception of AP US History. And let's face it - CLASSES SOMETIMES GET HARDER AS THE YEAR GOES ON. I'm thinking of BC Calc - the beginning of the year was largely spent reviewing Differential Calculus that we'd learned last year, and finishing up - only sometime in December did we even BEGIN integral calculus, which many people find a lot more challenging. And practically everyone failed those Series tests that we took this past month. As such, grades may show a slight downward trend. It'll be okay! lol</p>
