Do you think I might get rescinded from Emory?? Taking a poll.

Applying to College

<p>Alright, since 8th semester is coming to a close, I know alot of people are looking back realizing how much they slacked off in school. I am one of them.
I got accepted into Emory, but am getting pretty nervous now that I might get rescinded... </p>

<p>My CGPA is 4.01
My 6th and 7th semester GPAs were 4.5 and 4.6 (straight A's)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, my 8th semester grades will probably be as follows:
Philosophy- A
AP Calc- B
AP Macro- B
French III- B
AP English- C</p>

<p>shoot shoot shoot! I'm really scared right now! This brings my semester grade to a 3.5, which is a considerable drop from the 4.6 I got last semester.</p>

<p>Taking a poll, do you think I'll get rescinded???</p>

<p>are you serious.....please tell me your joking, if someone ever gets rescinded for having a 3.5 gpa then that college should go screw itself.</p>

<p>Why do so many people let this happen? You're sending a clear messege that you were not getting the grades due to love of learning. I son't think you'll get recinded, but I wonder how you'll do in college with all the temptation to party.</p>

<p>^ I let my grades slip. Deos this mean I don't love learning? No, it means that after 3 and a half years of working so hard I am practically completely burned out. I worked so hard in high school. I pulled all nighters, took more tests and quizzes than I'd like to think about, was stressed to the point of practically breaking down both physically and mentally, and pretty much poured my heart and soul into school. </p>

<p>It has nothing to do with no love for learning. For my friends and me it has to do with sheer exhaustion.</p>

<p>Colleges expect some slippage (think George in Seinfield), they just don't want a total crash</p>

<p>My D is a JR, and she still has to push for grades, but she is sick and tired of her teachers, her friends, the drama, all that</p>

<p>So, focus on that C, of course you won't get recinded, but I think if you can bring that on grade up< YOU will feel better</p>

<p>Congrats and have a great time at Emory!!</p>

<p>oh thank god!</p>

<p>I was almost sure I'd get rescinded... lol.</p>

<p>I guess I can beg the teacher to see if I can turn in some late hw...</p>

<p>Yea, you could do yourself a big favor by sitting down and talking with your teachers about your lowest grades. For all you know, telling them your situation could trigger their thinking and they could help you out a bit.</p>

<p>Not a chance. You would probably need more D's than C's before it was even a possibility. Don't be worried about impossibilities and enjoy the last month of hs.</p>

9

<p>A college would most likely only rescind you if your A's dropped to D's and F's. B's (and even a C or two) won't affect their decision.</p>

<p>Oh, for god's sake. Come on.</p>
