Grade Drop During Senior Year? How much will it affect decisions?

Applying to College

<p>My "mid-year" report will most likely be going out after the end of First Trimester, which is approximately a month before early decisions and definitely before the deadline for most regular applications. However, during Senior Year, my grades have dropped significantly.</p>

<p>I'm taking 5 AP classes, 2 honors, a one-trimester college introductory course, and a full year Calculus 3 course over the course of Senior year. 0% chance of changing schedules. I've only had an A- and a B+ (rest are all A's) up until Senior year but no matter how I calculate it, I think I will be getting an A- and B's consecutively all three trimesters. As in, about 1 B per trimester and 1 A- per trimester. This is the worst case scenario right now. </p>

<p>Will this grade drop significantly affect decisions because of the drop itself? Or will colleges not revoke their decisions and/or not care as much. </p>

<p>Re admissions: To a substantial degree, the answer to your questions is dependent on the selectivity of the universities to which you have applied. A decline of this sort would likely be significant at an “elite” university, one where even those with superb records are frequently denied, whereas at many good colleges it would probably not be decisive.</p>

<p>Re revocation: I doubt if A-'s and B’s in your curriculum would result in an acceptance being withdrawn. </p>
