<p>Hi guys! I've been accepted to Emory & Oxford via ED! but in the acceptance letter it says that the decision is based on the assumption that I will do as well in the rest of senior year. Otherwise it may withdraw my acceptance if my GPA drops significantly. I am really worried now because I may only earn a 3.2ish GPA(unweighted) this semester although my cumulative GPA is only 3.56 (that's why I applied ED....low...I know). I will work very hard next semester and hopefully will get the grades back. But I wonder if my GPA of this semester will be too low and even affect my acceptance?<br>
Also, my senior year course load is much heavier than before and I went to a very competitive private school, so that's part of the reason for my low GPA. That doesn't mean I didn't study at all. But it's still very low given that I am an incoming Emory student.... I admit......
Anyways, thank you guys for answering my question!</p>
<p>This has been answered many times. You can search for it :)</p>
<p>@aluminum_boat Well thanks for reply. I did find a lot of stuff about senior year grades and how they affect the chance to get in. But the difference between me and others is that I’ve ALREADY GOT IN and I just wanna secure my position. I didn’t find anything about this here but I do know that the minimum senior year GPA for UCLA is 3.0 unweighted. What about Emory?
I apologize if the question has been asked a lot of times. I just couldn’t find it anywhere…</p>
<p>The keyword you want to search is “rescinded”.</p>
<p>Some unsolicited advice for college and beyond - don’t ask questions you can easily find the answer to. It annoys your teachers/managers/coworkers, etc. Essentially, it shows that you haven’t put in the work to find something yourself, and you want them to hold your hand through everything.</p>
<p>When you come to Emory, you’ll find teachers who are very willing to help you but are unwilling to answer what they deem dumb questions. They expect you to put in the work yourself.</p>
<p>For example, never ask a teacher like Mulford:
- What type of questions are going to be on the test?
- How should I study for the test?
- Can you show me how to do these problems?</p>
<p>On the flip side, you could say:
- For this test, I’ve prepared for X and Y. Do you feel like Z is also useful?
- Pretty much the same as ^.
- I tried X approach to solving this problem, but I seem to be off. Can you explain what is wrong with my reasoning?</p>
<p>This is especially important if you have a corporate job after school. Google answers almost everything you could possibly need to know at Entry Level.</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptance!</p>
