Duke's acceptance letter is like a threat. I'm getting kind of worried!

<p>"Finally, please don’t forget what it took to get you to this point; we fully expect you to maintain high standards of academic performance and personal behavior in and out of school, including abiding by our Community Standard. If there is any change in the information in your application – including academic, personal, disciplinary, or legal matters – it is essential that you contact me immediately. We reserve the right to withdraw our offer of admission should your standing in any of these areas change or do not meet the terms of the Community Standard between now and the beginning of our fall term."</p>

<p>I think my second semester grades will look like this:
1. B
2. A
3. C
4. B
5. A
6. B</p>

<p>So 3 B's, 1 C, or 3.2 UW. Think that could get my rescinded? I only got 4 B's in my high school career thus far.</p>

<p>Hey, don't worry. The letter says that they will reevaluate the application of any student who receives a C or lower. Not that they will revoke the acceptance of any student who receives a C or lower. Just keep working hard and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>What do you have C in, and is there any feasible way you can get it up?</p>

<p>Chances are they will not revoke even if you get a C...they may ask you to explain but do try to get it up and avoid a conversation</p>

<p>Haha I have a C in ASB (aka Student Government)...not because I slack, either, because I'm too busy doing ACTUAL work - you know, planning Grad Nite, Senior Barbecues, Graduation, Fundraisers, etc - to do the "leadership homework" B.S. that we get in that class. Is that ironic or what? Better bring that grade up.</p>

<p>Yah, I'm totally in the same boat with grades and I bet that there are probably quite a few of us that have the issue with Cs. I highly doubt Duke admissions would rescind us all. I'm still definitely going to try to bring those grades up and I think thats something we all should try to work on to avoid any potential consequences.</p>

<p>Oh, I don't actually have a C. I have a B-, which I was just going to let drop to a C. But I really don't want to be reevaluated, so I guess I'm going to have to try to get that B. ARGH.</p>

<p>In English by the way.</p>
