<p>i know this has probably been asked before, but being the neurotic that i am, i had to ask. in the past i have gotten A's and B's, and an A- average. this semester, however, its looking very likely that i will get a C, and the rest of my grades will probably be B's. I have never gotten a C before. I know Uchicago doesn't rescind offers much, if at all, but i feel like im lucky to have gotten in in the first place, seeing as how must other students at my school who were accepted had higher stats. is there any chance that i could be rescinded?</p>
<p>yeah I think you'll be fine. the administration (especially the admissions officers) is pretty cool and understanding. just don't fail out of anything or get straight d's.</p>
<p>OMG, you have got to be kidding me!</p>
<p>I have been so paranoid! I've worked so hard by GPA is actually going to be higher this semester... </p>
<p>Phew!</p>
<p>Senoiritis, here I come</p>
<p>From Ted O'Neill's 2009 Convocation speech, pay attention to the last paragraph posted:</p>
<p>"Welcome, Class of 2009, and transfers Classes of 2008 and 2007, - finally, welcome - and welcome to your parents, and other supporters and to all of you.</p>
<p>Where have you been? Its already September 17th your friends have been at school for a month. We hear that you were home staying out late, sleeping into the afternoon, and being ornery around the house pretending to study for the calculus placement exam, hanging around your old high schools, checking out the new threads in the mirror, waiting until the last minute to pack, not reading The Iliad as you promised yourself you would before you got to the Athens of Illinois. We hear that people back home wonder why, if you were so smart, you didnt go to college. Bad enough that they thought you were going to a city college (at least the Chicagoans could get away with letting people think they were going to UIC.)</p>
<p>Well, you are here now, thats the important thing the leaves are turning, the divisional playoffs are about to start, with or without the White Sox (but with or without, thank heaven its without, the Cubs), the Bears have already lost their first game, the kids are deciding who they will be for Halloween, the mayor has mountains of salt ready to de-ice the streets, and now you finally come to college.</p>
<p>We hope, just because you imagined that when you arrived you would catch a whiff of the corpse of fun, that you didnt delay your departure. Maybe you thought you got the wrong letter! Or, that we changed our decision we found out that you didnt study for your calculus placement exam, or read The Iliad, or memorize French idioms, or, that we really paid attention to your spring semester C- in AP Chemistry that instead you went to the beach, de-tassled corn, or drank a root beer things no University of Chicago student is supposed to do. But we dont make mistakes, and, stare decisus the decision stands (for the next day or so, the Latin phase newscasters will take the most pleasure in saying), stare decisus, unless you really think those old judges didnt know what they were doing stare decisus youre stuck is the English translation."</p>
<p>aha I love uchi</p>
<p>i love uchi too.</p>
<p>I love Esquared.</p>

<p>So my C in AP Calc won't get me booted? yay!</p>
<p>i rejoice!
my potential C in bio/english wont get me booted!</p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>I guess I have it good, grade-wise. I am homeschooled.</p>

<p>I don't believe you unless you show me the link.</p>
