<p>So I got into Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ which I'm happy with. A few of my friends are going there as well.
I got in with a GPA of 3.5 and SAT scores: Math: 620 Verbal: 660 Writing: 680
Barely any ECs. I suppose it would be a "fit" or "safety" but the campus and my friends lead me choose it over some other schools I applied to. I got accepted literally 1 week after applying, whereas some people I know who had lower grades and SAT scores waited months to hear from them. This leads me to believe that perhaps I was higher on their priority list.</p>
<p>So now I am a senior and I've clearly got a bad case of senioritis, as do most seniors I presume. Teachers and administration are drilling it into our heads that we MUST work hard or risk jeopardizing acceptance. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they are simply trying to "threaten" us into working hard. Meanwhile I'm getting lazier and lazier by the day and feeling like I have some extra leeway with my grades since I got accepted with above average credentials for that particular school. </p>
<p>So basically I am just wondering how often this happens, and exactly how much your grades would have to slip for this to happen. Once you have paid/committed to the college can they reject you? I realize that there are many factors at hand but if you have ever heard of a case, or experienced this, I would like to hear about it. Any info on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks.</p>
