<p>With C's, I think you're playing with fire. Be careful. You don't want Harvard to get the impression that you're not the student they thought you were--that is, a studious one.</p>
<p>hey, i was thinking B+/A-!</p>
<p>Oh, pssssh, that's completely fine. B+ isn't even a bad grade.</p>
<p>yea. i'm gonna avoid Cs :) i wonder, how/when do they check up on their admitted students' progress?</p>
<p>When you graduate, your school has to send your final transcript.</p>
<p>Try to avoid it but it likely won't do much harm.</p>
<p>oh awesome. so it's really your average they care about....? in that case i agree, it shouldn't really do much harm. i'd try to avoid it, but i wouldn't get crazy about it....</p>
<p>hah. i seriously wish i could drop this online math course though :/ but that might be too dangerous.</p>
<p>"oh awesome. so it's really your average they care about....? in that case i agree, it shouldn't really do much harm. i'd try to avoid it, but i wouldn't get crazy about it...."</p>
<p>Right. They want your final grades in all of your courses, the same thing they saw in the transcript you sent when you applied.</p>
<p>This is why C's are a dangerous idea; you're talking about a C average for a semester-long or year-long course. To Harvard, that ain't too good. :-)</p>
<p>well, not a C average for the year :) just, you know, per quarter.
busywork gets in the way of more interesting things. sigh.</p>
<p>LOL. Ontolome, I can't believe we have the exact same problem. Somethings came up during the first quarter (let's just say they are not all education-related things) and I got some Bs and Cs, and now I feel like I am standing on the edge...</p>
<p>I already applied to penn, columbia, duke, wake forest, and american before I heard from Harvard.
I was going to apply to princeton, georgetown, and uva but im not anymore.</p>
