<p>So... I am not doing to well in AP Gov, and there is about 20% chance that i would get a c+ this marking period. (All subjects are straight As, btw). I already got into NYU Stern ED, and i am a little afraid.
So... IF i really do get c+ this marking period, would they kick me out of the decision table? Or does a high school's senior mid-year report show only the average of first two marking periods, so that they will see B? (I did fine on the first marking period.)</p>
<p>There is no way that they can reject you, you signed a contract that stated that if you get accepted you MUST enroll. So if I were you I wouldn't worry at all.</p>
<p>Kiwi, unfortunately you are wrong about this. All college acceptances are conditional on maintaining your academics. Doesn't matter whether they're ED or regular in the spring. It says it right in the "congratulations" pack they send. Just do a search on "recinded" and you'll find plenty of posts about kids who are worried about (or actually got) getting rescinded.</p>
<p>so do you guys think that i will get rescinded? again, it depends on whether they will see the 2nd mp grade or the average of the two mps, right?</p>
<p>i know about the conditional admissions and that if your grades drop too much, they won't take you anymore, but i've never actually seen a person getting his admission rescinded.</p>
<p>oh no.. srry for the wrong info then... but i still wouldn't worry about it. Having one bad grade isn't the end of the world. Just ensure that it doesn't happen again</p>
<p>Definitely depends. I think you should be OK with one B, assuming you have As in the rest of your classes (or are at least maintaining your previous academic average).</p>
<p>Considering this is your ONE class (right??) that you're doing poorly in, I doubt it will be serious enough to merit a rescindence. I don't think that's a word.</p>
<p>If you're really, really concerned, though, ask your guidance office what grade will be sent to NYU, and if you're still concerned, email/mail/call the admissions office, explain that you're having a bit of difficulty in that particular class, and are taking the necessary steps to improve your grade in the following marking period.</p>
<p>You should be ok.</p>
<p>NYU has tens of thousands of other students applications to deal with, and one student getting a C+ will not matter to them enough. I've known kids getting into ivies and their grades drop... I wouldn't worry too much if I were you (I'm in a similar spot right now). Especially because I bet there are students admitted who were already getting a C in a class. It'll be okay. Just keep working and you're good.</p>
<p>I don't think the OP's case sounds very serious and I expect NYU will say "doesn't matter, keep the rest of your grades up", but when school starts in Jan talk with your guidance counselor and have her/him contact NYU. You're always better off facing up to issues; a college is much more likely to work with someone who approaches them and says "there's this problem; what can I do?" than someone who crosses their fingers and hopes for the best. That's called being proactive, and come to think of it that's what colleges like to see in their applicants. Unlike some advice you're getting, they're not going to "miss" a shortfall if it matters to them. Plenty of big schools manage to ferret out kids who slip, and so will NYU.

We want the students to be prepared. The biggest reason students fail in college is their preparation in secondary school," said Jim Blackburn, a CSU enrollment director whose 23 campuses have been trying to reduce the number of freshmen needing remedial courses.</p>
<p>He said the university rescinded about two dozen acceptance letters at each campus for this year, and sometimes more, including 63 at San Francisco State University and 43 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. UC Berkeley canceled 37 offers of admission. UCLA canceled 73 freshmen admission offers.</p>

So even though riyam hasn't seen it, it sure looks like it can happen.</p>
<p>the mid-year report should only show the semester average- and a B is nothing to worry about.</p>
