<p>Those of us admitted to Stanford now only have one goal left- not lose our admission. However I would like to slack off in school and instead pursue my dreams and whatnot. It appears that all we send to Stanford is the Mid-Year Report, which goes out "as soon as First Semester or Trimester grades are available, but no later than March 1". I could easily pull off A's and B's for the remaining quarter (my school has a 4 quarter schedule) but second half of the year I am going to seriously be lacking the motivation. Question is, will it matter? From what I can tell, I could get D's in all my classes both quarters of the second semester and Stanford wouldn't hear about it and I would be fine.
Somebody please give me a clear answer as to how they check up on you and what sort of grades I should maintain.
thanks!!</p>
<p>I also wanna know this</p>
<p>I think when someone asked them last year, they said they contact you if your semester or quarter gpa is an entire point below your current average. So if you now have a 3.9 and showed a 2.9, someone would notify you that you need to explain why your grades dropped. You would need to have a good reason why this happened. A little slacking is acceptable. A lot is not.</p>
<p>Make no mistake about it. Stanford still needs your final transcript. And yes, a dramatic drop is necessary for your admission to be rescinded. "Dramatic" means like from 4.0 to 3.0</p>
