Hi!
This year I am taking 5 AP’s, and I am not handling the workload well at all. I do not understand AP Physics C at all, and it is taking a toll on my grades. I may end up with a C this semester. Last semester, I ended up with 2 B’s. This semester, worst case, I may end up with one C and 2B+. Would that affect my admission?
Here is what the Swarthmore website says, which does not sound lenient to me :
“Swarthmore College places strong emphasis on academic achievement and personal character. An offer of admission to Swarthmore College is dependent on a student maintaining his or her standard of academic achievement before enrolling at the College. An offer of admission is also dependent on a student’s continued demonstration of character and high standards for personal conduct. Lapses in either category may be grounds for rescinding an offer of admission.”
I have read about other posts on this subject, but did anyone ever hear about Swarthmore rescinding seniors due to a “significant” change in grades (while still passing all the classes)?
Please advice and thank you!!!
