<p>Just how crucial is the Mid-Year Report in terms of admission? I applied to CMU ED II, which means I'll be notified of a decision January 15th. The Mid-Year Report, however, is due March 1st, meaning I'll be accepted/deferred/rejected by then. Let's say, hypothetically, that I were accepted, and that I were to receive a C second semester in an AP class (I'm currently taking 5 APs). How would that impact my decision?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>once ur accepted, it most likely won't matter.. in fact, i think as long as u don't fail, ur fine.. now, if u were deferred.... quite frankly, they're still not that important, just as long as there isn't a significant drop.</p>
<p>darkcypher...I'm with you here. I've got 5 (technically 6--it's not a lot compared to CC'ers but it is for me) and I'm not doing so hot in a few of my classes. If we bring up our grades second marking period, will they just regard it as a period of adjustment? or am I just plain screwed?</p>
<p>Thanks for the response chemaddict17.</p>

<p>(a) I think it all depends on your definition of "not doing so hot." To be quite honest, some people (myself included) tend to frown upon Bs. Others, however, see them as merely satisfactory.</p>
<p>(b) Quantify "few." Are we talking about 1-2 courses or more?</p>
<p>I don't think you're screwed one bit, but that all depends on just how poorly you feel you're doing. Personally, I feel one C shouldn't be that big of a deal, especially considering the fact that we're dealing with AP courses. A D or an F, on the other hand, might be a completely different story...</p>
<p>I'm working on it...haha</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>im pretty worried bc i applied to early decision two too. r the decisions not mailed out til jan 15th? bc i already found out a week ago....i hope its not a false alarm bc that would be bad....</p>
<p>Hahah, admissions isn't going to "frown upon" a few Bs or even a C or 2.. calm down guys.. just don't fail. It's not like they're going to accept you, and completely change their mind based on not absolutely perfect grades.</p>
<p>This is the reassurance I needed to hear. </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
