How important are grades second semester senior year?

<p>If you've been accepted to a top school, will they expect you to keep up perfect grades, or are you allowed some slack?</p>

<p>They expect you to continue doing about as well as you were doing when they accepted you. A little lower won’t get you rescinded, but it’s easy to slip from a little lower to alotta* lower, so be careful.</p>

<p>just dont fail</p>

5

<p>I think your GPA can’t fall more than 1 point from before and no F’s and probably no D’s.</p>

6

<p>Different schools are more strict on this. Apparently the UCs are infamous for rescinding. I hear Yale, too.</p>

7

<p>Hypothetically, if one were a straight-A student, would getting a B or two second semester result in rescinding?</p>

<p>Hahaha my grade fell a full letter grade. I feel a strange sense of accomplishment.
Anyway, nah, there’s no way that you’ll get rescinded for something so little as that.</p>

<p>^^ Nope. You won’t get rescinded, and you’ll probably raise some eyebrows if you get ALL B’s…</p>

<p>The rule of thumb - no D’s or F’s and no more than 2 C’s. I read this somewhere, not sure where. Probably only pertains to a certain college.</p>

<p>not really.</p>
