Drop of Final Grades

<p>Hello CC'ers,</p>

<p>I just called the admission to ask if I have to notify the admission within 72 hours for even a slight drop of my final grades (I'm an IB Diploma candidate), and they told me yes (but I wasn't sure if the admission officer fully understood what I was asking).</p>

<p>Was this true to any of you who had experienced a drop in grades in the final report? Did you have to notify the Dean of Undergrad within 72 hours? Or did you just not bother telling them? </p>

<p>Sorry if I sound so obsessed with this...</p>

<p>Thanks..</p>

<p>Nevermind, inquiry solved: I heard from a different admission officer that drop of a couple of points (considering Fianl IB point total) wouldn’t require one to report it to the admissions at all.</p>

<p>as long as you get C’s or better you should be fine. aim for B’s or better to be on safe side.</p>

<p>so drop in 2 or 3 points from the total predicted IB score is okay…?
I’m a full IB student too by the way</p>

<p>I’m sure it’s fine. I’m an IB Diploma Candidate and I don’t evne know what my predicted score is and neither does Duke. I’m sure at least two of my teachers predicted higher than what I’ll get and I’m sure it happens a lot. By drop in grades, they mean your actual grades in each class (A,B,C, etc).</p>

<p>I’ve read somewhere (other threads) that the IB/AP scores are not considered in admissions… only final school grades are.
IB/AP scores are considered only for students who want credits at college and skip classes…?
Is this information accurate?</p>

<p>Eek, my grades dropped too. All mine are As and Bs though. Gym might drop down to a C though which would be pathetic…</p>
