<p>Hey guys. I have already been accepted to my first choice school via ED. Question is how low do my grades have to be so they rescind my application. I am doing pretty bad 2nd marking period, with 2 80's in AP Calculus and AP Lit. I have 4 AP's total. Even though they are AP classes, would my college take away my acceptance due to poor 2nd mp grades?</p>
<p>Not to scare you or anything but...</p>
<p>Every year we get a bunch of copies of letters from schools to accepted seniors when we get to senior year and they're all admissions officers rethinking their acceptance decisions. One got rejected after being accepted because he got his first B ever in AP Calc BC. Another was in July... they were talking about refunding his housing deposit...</p>
<p>If you can't keep your grades the same, at least write a letter or something explaining why your grades have slipped if they send you anything.</p>
<p>a B! OH NO!</p>
<p>try a F</p>
<p>Yeah, moderately sure they were just trying to scare us but the letters were legit.</p>

That's the most extreme horror story I have ever heard. Thank you very much for sharing.</p>
<p>because someone got a first ever B they were rejected? is the school ivy league?</p>
<p>total crap...</p>
<p>lol, that dude probly shot the dean along with getting the B,
cuz normally it's C or below to have colleges withdraw their decision.
This is assuming it's an all-A student we're talking about, and also assuming there's more than one C. However, that's only my opinion.</p>
<p>If you go much lower than your junior year report card I believe it will be rescinded. But in my case since I got a C for the year last year in AP calc AB I think a C in AP calc BC will be perfectly ok with a bunch of B's.</p>
<p>You're fine unless you start dropping APs and failing classes.</p>
<p>if i dont go any lower than an 80 and only 2 classes will be an 80, will i be fine?</p>
<p>Ha, don't stress. A couple B's will be just fine!</p>
<p>I have 4Bs and 2As... OMG I'm screwed....</p>
<p>I should really work on that eng/math extra credit over break///</p>
<p>To the OP, don't worry. As long as your grades are at or above a 3.0 unweighted, colleges aren't going to rescind (or even consider it).</p>
<p>I believe they can go as low as F, but there is no letter E.</p>
<p>I don't think getting a B will kill you, but I know of a kid who got his Yale acceptance rescinded for getting two Cs.</p>
<p>But it bothers me that anyone would even ask this question. Just keep your grades at or near the the same level they have always been and you won't have any problems. After all this work to get yourself admitted to your number one school, why risk flushing it all down the toilet by slacking off? </p>
<p>Do the work. Keep your dreams alive.</p>
<p>but what if this person has been getting straight As and suddenly multiple Bs start appearing in your transcript???</p>
<p>i mean i've never found any math class to be hard until now(AP Calc BC..)</p>
<p>I still can't believe i got F on last test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>and obviously i'm struggling with my AP Physics class...... AND AP Spanish class....</p>
<p>urgh...//// this is not suppose to happen in my senior year///</p>
<p>it's suppose to be FUN:( (though i'm sure it will be next semester:))</p>
<p>What about getting a C+ in AP Physics and then dropping it for 2nd semester? Seriously, this class is kicking my butt and I'd be MORE than happy to write like a 10-page essay about why this class is so difficult and why I should be able to drop it without it affecting admissions</p>
<p>(Normally a mostly A/some B student, uw GPA is like 3.9)</p>
<p>Well it's not that I'm not working hard it's just that I have 4 AP's this year when last year I had none, I do a lot of ec's, and my grandfather passed away a few weeks ago. It's really just AP Literature I am doing horrible in, like the rest of my class.</p>
<p>I have no idea what the story about the first B is about. However, typically a C in senior year can be real problem to the elite colleges. Two comments:</p>
<p>How tough the college treats a senior slump depends on their business situation just as much as fears about the student's readiness for college. If the yield was higher than expected for that year, the college may have overbooked and is looking for ways to downsize the freshman class. </p>
<p>If your acceptance is rescinded, you may be able to negotiate. Taking full responsibility and then begging like a baby might help. Ask if you can still attend if you start freshman year on academic probation.</p>
