<p>ok so i received my acceptance letter this afternoon along w/ a $40,000 Trustee Merit scholarship!!
which i'm thrilled about......but....
i applied to rice interim, and i think i was a really strong applicant b/c i was valedictorian, i'm hispanic, and i'm really involved in various activities, etc.</p>

<p>but first semester of senior year i made 3 b's, lowering my gpa. rice didn't see them because of the interim decision plan.
and in my scholarship an admissions letter, it was mentioned that i was expected to receive the same grades i had made up to the point i applied there.
this semester it's expected that i'll make 3 b's again.</p>

<p>i know i sound paranoid, but i'm afraid i might lose my scholarship! any imput? do a couple b's really matter in the long run if i'm already in??</p>

<p>thanks guys..</p>

<p>I don't know for sure, but I doubt that they'll take away your scholarship just for some B's.</p>

<p>No, they won't take away your scholarship for getting three b's. That being said, I don't think you should test their limits. Try really hard to get straight a's second semester.</p>

<p>You should be fine - but I wouldn't suggest dipping below a B!</p>
