<p>I got into Penn ED SEAS. 'k, so according to my counselor, if I get a single B, I face a strong chance of getting my admission rescinded. (I got straight As for the past three years.) Is this true? I think this is a pretty harsh rescindment policy, and since I face a mild chance of getting a B+ in AP Calculus, I'm getting worried (again). Is this true or not? If not, then what kind of grade drop is grounds for a rescindment?</p>
<p>That seems to be doubtful advice IMO. I can’t speak specifically to your program or even Penn, but withdrawals of acceptance generally occur only for egregious issues (crime, lying, dropping out, or “checking” out entirely). I think a mixture of A’s and B’s will be looked at as evidence of senioritis and nothing more. Getting a “C” will certainly garner you some extra (negative) attention, though.</p>
<p>Avoid D’s if easily possible. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>What about changing classes? I took a college class and it ends at semester. I have the change to take the second semester but I can’t afford to commute anymore. Would this be problematic?</p>
<p>Getting one B does not give you a strong chance of having your admittance rescinded at any school. Especially in an AP class</p>
<p>lol, this was my biggest worry too. Don’t panic, a B will not get you rescinded, neither will a C. you miqht qet an eyebrow raise or two but you’ll be fine. Ds or below you should be worried.</p>
<p>Just be smart, and you’ll be fine. You’ve been working hard all throughout high school so you deserve to celebrate now that you’ve gotten into Penn, just don’t go overboard. When I first talked to my pre-major advisor, she had asked me what AP credit I had or would be expecting. I found this a little odd because I assumed that she had seen my high school transcript, so I asked her “what information do you know about me from high school?” and her reply was “You got into Penn.” So in the second semester of senior year I think it’s good to focus more on things for learning’s sake and what you’re interested in than on grades. So instead of focusing on all of the busy work that I had perfected from the last 3 1/2 years, I tried to use school more to learn about my specific interests that I’d been introduced to in my various classes. I began reading more about chemistry and physics and some literary books for pleasure. I also got to spend more time relaxing and doing fun things. I think this was pretty good for me since high school had been a pressure cooker and I had never been able to relax before. But my senioritis all worked out fine (it was more of a mental state, the actual result had been pretty mild), my grades actually turned out to be identical to what they had been. I kind of think my school went a little easier on us second semester though, a lot of kids got senioritis way worse than mine.</p>
