Mid-year reports scare me...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Oberlin College

<p>I'm becoming a very frequent poster here but I can't help it, lol. I really like the school plus this college discussion sections tends to be the nicest (hope its that way at Oberlin!).</p>

<p>So anyhow... I don't know about everyone else but mid-year reports are freaking me out. I will likely have 3 Bs and 3 As (not horrible but one of my worst turnouts), technically it is 2 Bs but 1 class counts for two grades (rrrrg). And my class rank will likely drop, greaaaaaaat.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much importance is placed on these things? Are my grades horrible enough to prob. get me rejected?</p>

<p>Typically, most top LACs merely want to see grades hover around the B and A range. It also depends on the student. For example, Oberlin may easily admit a B average student, but if his grades drop to all Ds, then clearly there is an issue. Likewise, if an A student has grades that drop to all Cs, then there's an issue.</p>

<p>Typically, staying in the A and B range will keep you in. Just don't tank.</p>
