D’s and F’s will get you rescinded.
@TomSrOfBoston What about Cs? What about a ton of Bs?
A ton of B’s, no problem. Don’t get all C’s, but even then you may be fine. A D or and F is really the red flag, especially more than one. Unless you’re looking at ivies, which will probably care for more than a C or two.
@PengsPhils That seems rather fishy because a ton of Cs are really bad and I doubt they will let it slide. I currently have a C+ in Calc BC and several other Bs and As, and I feel horrible. Do you know anyone who has gotten low grades like mine who wasn’t rescinded? I’m feeling really worried!
Your C+ probably won’t be a problem but you do have the entire second semester to bring it up.
@saltedpeanutz It’s called senioritis for a reason, and many colleges realize that. Second semester in particular. They aren’t looking that you kept up your exact grades, they are looking that you didn’t fall off a cliff. B’s is not that. The moral of the story here is that you have to do pretty bad before you get rescinded, and not just bad by your own standards. You are just fine as is, though of course doing better never hurts.
In my opinion, the sad state of high school right now is that it’s basically an audition for college. Once colleges don’t see, the only value left is what you learn, not your grade. After high school, you will forget anything about the grades you got there, and college is a lot less grade focused. Once you leave college, the same thing. The grades aren’t what matter, it’s what you get out of it. There are a decent number of times those don’t correlate.
Sorry for the tangent, but I think it’s relevant given that colleges realize some of this.
