How far can your grades drop senior year?

<p>I am pretty sure that I'm going to get a C in calc, but the rest of my grades are A's and one B. Anything to be worried about?</p>

<p>I believe you have to keep above a 3.0, but I could be mistaken. I also believe I heard my friends saying if you get a C they report it to your school and they can choose to revoke your admission. </p>

<p>Don't settle for that C! It is not worth the risk! Is there anything you can do? Tutor? Beg for extra credit? Are you getting senioritis? Or is it just the material is way too much right now?</p>

<p>one C and that is it.</p>

<p>are you sure about that kirby dee ? i heard that as long as you get atleast a C , you should be fine .. i've never heard about the chance of revokal ... hmm?</p>

<p>i heard you can just get maximum 2 Cs and a 3.0 unweighted GPA</p>

<p>ohh okay ... well that sounds a lot more likely to me too ... ahhh i have to cure my senioritis .. i cannot wait to graduate!</p>

<p>lol </p>

<p>I don't have senioritis, but I do have a bad case of calculus-is-above-my-head syndrome.</p>

<p>What If You Got 1 C Your First Semester And Most Likely Another One This Semester.. Same Subeject... Will It Be Revoked?... Doesnt It Say No Lower Than A C Above A 3.0 U.w No F's Or D's</p>

<p>i think if you get a C you will be fine .. as long as it's not a D or F and you still have atleast a 3.0.</p>

<p>im assumming NONE of you read the contract depending on how many classes you have its a total of 3.0 unweighted as long as you dont have a d or f.</p>

<p>K Coool...</p>

<p>I actually wrote a letter to them about it. They seem to think I'm failing a class but they did phrase that part of the senior contract as just maintain the 3.0 and no Ds and Fs and I'd be fine.</p>

<p>3.0 and no Ds and Fs.</p>

<p>You could get 3 A's and 3 C's and nothing is going to happen to your admission. Guaranteed.</p>

<p>If you get 3 Cs, they imply that they want you to report because theres a potential for getting below a 3.0 unweighted (hence why that clause wasn't mentioned). When I emailed them about their policy, and specifically asked about Cs, they tied that into whether or not someone would be able to get a 3.0 unweighted (they re-iterated the provisional contract for me >_>)</p>

<p>Hmmm</p>

<p>I emailed one of the peer couselors about one C with an over 3.0 gpa, and he said</p>

<p>" They should contact Admissions ASAP to see what they can do. By not
contacting Admissions, they may place their admitted status in jeopardy. "</p>

<p>???</p>

<p>That seems exaggerated. It clearly states you may get C's on the contract given you maintain the 3.0.</p>

<p>I agree, but:</p>

<p>" If your grades drop significantly, you receive any D or F grades, or your class schedule changes, notify our office immediately."</p>

<p>The first part of that phrase is what scares me.</p>

<p>=|</p>

<p>Everyone's scared of that part. I sent in 2 emails to them asking about it, though, and they never seemed to emphasize that point when reiterating the provisional contract =/</p>

<p>Just think about it this way: how can they penalize you for having lower grades 2nd semester as long as your grades in the 1st semester are good enough to boost you above 3.0? Say you got a 3.8 first semester and your GPA drops to a 2.9 second semester. That averages out to 3.35, clearly above the 3.0 line. However, one can make the case that dropping your GPA almost 1 full point qualifies as "dropping significantly," but I believe that part is almost perfectly synonymous with the C policy (no more than 2 in a semester).</p>

<p>Consider these two cases:</p>

<p>Student A: 3.1 first semester; 2.9 second. 3.0 total, he's fine. 3.1 and 2.9 are barely different at all and surely not a significant drop.</p>

<p>Student B: 3.9 first semester; 2.9 second. 3.4 total, but he dropped one point.</p>

<p>My point is this: how can they penalize Student B? His overall GPA is higher than Student A's.</p>

<p>That is why I believe the "Don't drop your grades significantly" basically means don't get too many C's.</p>
