Northwestern Provisional Acceptance

<p>a quick qeustion to anyone who has answers:</p>

<p>In the Northwestern University (NU) acceptance letter it says something like "you will be allowed to attend NU, provided that you maintain your grades".. or something like that.</p>

<p>Now, I have been absent from school for 12-13 days this year (between Feb. and March) because of college interviews, so my grades have seriously suffered (I have straight Bs right now, and prolly like 2-3 As and 2-3 Bs by the end of the semester). Would that be considrered an "academic falteration" worth enough to keep me from entering NU?</p>

<p>thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Of course not. They mean like C or D territory before they are going to consider rescinding it. All colleges write that in their letters just so they have the ability to take away their acceptance if you start doing seriously terrible. They realize that you are a senior and that you are absent a lot plus that your grades really don't matter much any more. They are trying to motivate you to still try.</p>

<p>What if I pull Straight Bs?.. cuz that is looking like a real possibility now.. its hard to bring back up to As once you're been gone for 12 days all group together in one month.</p>

<p>Nobody will rescind you for straight B's. =/</p>
