<p>ok so heres the deal. im one of those typical whiney complainy teenagers who hates taking order from his parents and b!tches whenever he doesnt get what he wants. recently i have had a fallout with my parents, and my grades "dropped". for third quarter, i recieved a C, and 3 D's. Now heres the real problem. I found out recently that i have been accepted to northwestern university, my dream school, and one of the two schools iv been accepted to. im extremely worried that northwestern will change their mind and tell me to go somewhere else. what do you think? what are the chances that my acceptance will be revoked? i did some math and determined that in order to recieve a semester grade of a B in those classes that I recieved D's in for 3rd quarter, i would have to get an a fourth quarter, AND an A on the exam, which can be a very difficult task to handle along with track, work, and parental stress. so basically, im looking at semester C's for all three of my failed classes. please help</p>
<p>If you are dropping from Bs to Ds, that is a huge problem. If you are dropping from As to Ds, it is extremely likely that you will be rescinded from Northwestern. In fact, you might lose your admission to BOTH schools. You need to explain your grades have plunged so much so that you don’t look like every other kid who has a serious case of senioritis. You also need to work as hard as you can to make your grades as high as possible for your end-of-year transcript.</p>
<p>Who are you asking for help from you are the only one who can help yourself. It’s not like you have any option but to do your best and hope that you don’t end up with d’s. C’s won’t kill you</p>
<p>so do you think that i will be fiine if i go from all A’s and B’s to 3 C’s and the rest A’s or B’s? and would i be better off taking the initiative and contacting them giving them a reason why my grades have been falling?</p>

That would at least be much better than Ds. And yes, I think that when your grades are finalized and ready to be sent off, you need to contact them (write a letter), explaining that you were having family problems, worked to get your grades up, and that you are committed to excelling at their university. It’s better than waiting for them to contact you.</p>
