<p>ok, i applied to NYU, and thats basically the only school im worried about getting accepted, teh other schools i applied to shouldnt be taht hard to get into. Well, NYU does not want a midyear report.....i took this as a chance to slack of second quarter....now someone is telling me that second quarter actually does matter some how, and i am FREAKING OUT right now. argh, someone calm me down or hit me with some harsh reality, cause i keep getting mixed answers from my friends.
to worsen this, im a bit obsessive compulsive, so my mind is gonna go crazy till i get a direct answer.</p>
<p>if you get accepted, they still look at your grades at the end of the year and if they've fallen off, they can revoke an acceptance. i know a kid that that happened to.</p>
<p>sorry to steal the spotlight but if my first semster grade is like really low (c, d and b..etc) but my second semester grade is like straight a..will colleges revoke my app?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>i thought only EXTREMELY prestigous schools revoke acceptances(like princeton and such), is it safe to say its statistically impossible to get a revoked from NYU?
how bad do ur grades have to be to get revoked btw(on average i suppose)? im doing okay in all my ap's i think, i just failed a social studies elective....well, i failed 2 social studies electives, but one was a pass/fail class and didnt affect my gpa. But i did okay in AP US history last year, so its not like im bad at social studies. yea, im starting to go off topic, someone calm me down again lol.</p>
<p>IT IS VERY POSSIBLE..even at some lesser known colleges..thats why i am so worried like you are....</p>
<p>argh...yea, thats all i can say lol.
any other views on this? i wanna get the whole spectrum</p>
<p>nyu does not require midyear reports.</p>
<p>what they do require, i believe, is a transcript at the end of the year (if you are accepted and you choose to go to nyu) and if your grades are reallllyyyy horrible (like pretty bad.. like all a's to all d's or something), then they can revoke your admission. however, i think this is more rare if anything. </p>
<p>its possible to maintain an okay gpa and relax. hopefully you're not freaking out over a 3.0 or something.</p>
<p>how "bad" are your grades?</p>
<p>NYU will look at your final transcript, and they do reserve the right to revoke an acceptance...</p>
<p>Another point...</p>
<p>One of the best indicators of how you will do at any college during the freshman year is your performance during the senior year of high school...Senioritis now will carry over to next year...</p>
<p>Any college can recind acceptance, but you really have to screw up bad, like drop your semester GPA over a point. If you are still trying at all, I doubt they will realistically take your acceptance.</p>
<p>I don't think it matters that much at all. I'm going to take it easy. I don't really see the point of sending in a final transcript, and I never read anywhere that you have to for Ivies.</p>
<p>umm ultimatefrisbee yes i think almost all schools, especially ivies will require a final transcript, and if they do not like your grades, they WILL rescind your admission...</p>

I personally had a friend whose acceptance to UCLA's School of the Arts & Architecture was revoked. He currently attends a community college.</p>
<p>I also know a friend's friend whose acceptance to UCSD was revoked as well. She had maintained almost all straight As until her senior year, when she really, really slacked off and could not even graduate. Somehow, her parents never found out during graduation (that she couldn't receive a diploma) and she left for a community college in San Diego (while her parents thought that she left for UCSD). To this day, I think her parents still have no clue.</p>
<p>Don't let that happen to you.</p>
<p>to applicant:
i think i mightr have a D or lower in an social studies elective, and i think i have a bunch of b's in my ap's and other classes. i still have an A in ap stat though.</p>

<p>You college admission is contigent on your successful completion of high school at many schools do expect you to finish with the same standards of performance you had when they accepted you. Yes, your high school must forward a copy of your final transcript to your college as proof that you have successfully finished high school. If you have had a major slide the following can happen:</p>
<p>The school can and will rescind your admission (I know for a fact of a student at an ivy who got their admission rescinded during freshman orientation ).</p>
<p>If you have recieved any kind of merit scholarship, you can lose it because you no longer meet the eligibility requirements</p>
<p>If you were admitted to an honors college you can lose your spot becausse you no longer meet the eligibility requirements</p>
<p>You can start out your first term on probation and be limited in the courses that you can take (because for some classes, especially first year writing , math and science, your high school grade will be a factor in determining your section -especially if you are looking to take a honors class.</p>
<p>If you are looking to transfer during your freshman year, your high school transcript carries more weight than your first term college grades because yoru highschool transcript measures performance over time.</p>
<p>ok, i just got word that i definatly failed the social studies half year elective class, and i think i might even have a c+ in ap biology, and i might even have a b in ap calculus. yea, this isnt bad enough to get revoked, right?
i will definatly graduate btw</p>

nyu does not require midyear reports

<p>Applicant2006 & Grim,</p>
<p>Why do you think that NYU does not request mid year grades?</p>
<p>On the High School Report/Counselor Recommendation Form seection
NYU's application it specically states (on page 19 of NYU's application) or if you applied using the common application the mid year report is part of the common app.</p>
<p>We would appreciate your candid evaluation of the student named above to aid us in evaulating his or her candidacy for
admission to New York University. Please attach this report to the applicants current high school transcript. Thank you for
your cooperation.</p>
<p>Your 7th semester grades are documented on your transcript for admissions (your midyear grades). If your high school transcript is broken down by semester, the first semester of senior year will be on your transcript and they will be sent to the colleges.</p>
<p>So if you definitely failed the social studies half year elective class, and i think i might even have a c+ in ap biology, and i might even have a b in ap calculus, you will have an uphill climb to be admitted.</p>

<p>"A mid-year grade report is not a required component of the application process at New York University." - NYU Forum</p>
<p>My counselor has already sent in my transcript/rec package, so my midyear grades aren't even on the transcript (my semester doesn't end until after Jan 15). I'm sure I could send them to NYU after all my finals/grades are done, if I wanted- but it's not a required part of the admissions process.</p>
<p>If NYU made it a required part of the admissions process, there would be a supplemental form for Midyear grades on the NYU Application, not just the common application.</p>
<p>THis does not mean that the NYU will nto contact your school for an updated transcript with the 7th semester grades as most likely they will.</p>
<p>Think about it...</p>
<p>31,608 students apply to NYU during the RD round and 10,798 are admitted. While the school may not "require" a mid year report, the college states that it does look at them if you submit them. </p>
<p>Among similiarly qualified applicants, a person who submits a transcript that shows consistent performanace over 7 terms will have an edge over someone who is shows performance over 6 terms (unless those 6 terms have been truly outstanding).</p>

<p>i am not arguing that good midyear grades can work to an applicant's application (obviously if you get a 4.0 NYU won't think you're a slacker). i am just stating that NYU does not require a mid year report, thus not sending one will not put you in a disadvantage.</p>
<p>the OP was concerned about a midyear report to NYU because his grades were dropping. it probably would not benefit him if he sent NYU a midyear report because low grades will not make your application look good. thus grimreefer does not need to send in a midyear report. what he/she does need to be concerned about is not slacking off because NYU does require a final transcript of senior year.</p>
<p>i guess in the scenario you created a midyear report could favor an applicant.. but its not the major factor in an admissions decision since it isn't even required and alot of people don't send them.</p>
