<p>I was recently accepted into George Mason University, even though my GPA through high school was nothing to brag about. Even though we have one of the toughest grading scales in the nation currently (high school is in the top 30), I was shocked at my acceptance. I sent many letters expressing my interest in attending the university, as well as specified my requested major in my application.</p>
<p>My problem right now, is my second semester grades. For some reason, every teacher I have has waited until now to start giving us the harder material, and despite having a 3.6 for my first semester, it is now down to about a 2.6 for the 3rd quarter. I know I can pick it up 4th quarter, but it is going to be difficult to get a decent GPA with the workload I am receiving. I chose a very hard schedule this year, and the colleges that have accepted me so far are very aware of it.</p>
<p>My question is, at this rate do you think GMU will rescind my application because of my drop in my overall GPA from a 2.9 through high school to a 2.6, despite having a good first semester?</p>
