<p>what's up. I was accepted to nyu and was wondering how much i can slack, and let my marks drop now that i'm in.</p>
<p>don’t be stupid and do so little work you fail. Cs are okay. </p>
<p>i know someone who failed three classes because he was so lazy and had his acceptance revoked from JHU. but he was an idiot. don’t be him! lol.</p>
<p>Anything above a C is acceptable. I suggest you should not reach for a C because you can easily fail it. Just maintain above a 3.0 or 85, you’re fine.</p>
<p>is 3.0 weighted or unweighted?
is 2C’s in AP classes
and B’s elsewhere acceptable?</p>
<p>Just keep it high. Don’t let senioristis get you. So far, I only know of those who failed a class or got C minus or lower (less than 75/100) for a single class or more got their admission rescinded. Multiple grades with C or C+ may not hurt but just in case keep them high. NYU does not use unweighted grades. In fact, on the admission forums there was a post I remember that they stated they re-calculated your grades to their unweighted grades.</p>
<p>Does NYU look at semester grades or the overall year grade? So if you get C- in semester but the overall is C/C+ would they rescind your admission? Also, what about classes like theatre? Do they really care?</p>
<p>From what I know, the most important thing is that you can graduate. The NYU guide pretty much made this pretty clear when I toured NYU 2 years ago when I am still looking for colleges. After all, if you cannot graduate you cannot attend college.</p>
<p>The last thing you want is a poor class grade. It seriously shows you slack off and only cared only enough about school just to get into college but not about your education.
A C- is considered passing at NYU but a college course at NYU with a grade of C- or lower will not be considered completed for any major/minor or any pre-med/pre-law program. </p>
<p>I am not so sure about theatre but I did failed gym in my last semester. However, I was able to get all 100s and 90s in my other classes. Gym does not get averaged in my overall high school average so maybe that’s why. I doubt NYU cares if the class is pretty useless and/or does not get averaged in. I am not too sure about theatre, it sounds like something that Tisch would care but not the other colleges.</p>
<p>It’s still early for high school students to improve their grades, at least those on the East side of the US. Keep it high as possible. Better safe than sorry.</p>
