<p>i get notified of college decisions BEFORE my midyear/final grades come out. how much do they consider it if you do poorly on midyear/final grade? (not that i plan to do so, but just wondering). thanks (=</p>
<p>You have colleges that (a) rely only on grades through junior year to determine admission, (b) require mid-year report for regular admission and rely on those grades also for admission; (c) those with EA or ED that use junior year grades (and sometimes mid first-semester grades) to determine EA/ED admission but then require mid-year reports only for regular admission applicants.</p>
<p>For any of the above that determine admission without mid-year grades, you generally do not even submit any senoir grades until after your senior year when you submit final transcript. </p>
<p>For all colleges, you have to submit, after admission, your final high school transcript. They use that to determine if they should rescind admission. Those who blow off senior year actually do face a risk of rescission. How bad you have to do varies. For high ranks, you can have the risk if too many C’s, for others a D can raise the issue.</p>
<p>For someone who has been offered admission before the mid-year grade report has been sent in, for most colleges you really have to screw up badly to get your offer rejected. I think it mainly happens to kids who start getting all Cs and below. If you drop from As to Bs, Ior get one C, don’t think any college would rescind the admission.</p>
<p>If the final decision is made after mid-year reports are received, then they may put you over the edge of being admitted or denied. Also, some colleges call guidance counselors for the latest grades before they make a final decision on a marginal applicant.</p>
<p>However, if you get caught cheating or get into severe disciplinary problems, it is easier for a college to rescind admissions. In particular, colleges are very concerned today about any behavior that could result to physical harm to other students, such as an arrest for assault.</p>
