Poor Grades In Senior year-Admission Canceled?

Applying to College
1

<p>hi. i was admitted to Johns Hopkins University under ED.</p>

<p>i have one AP and one Honors Class right now. </p>

<p>since it's ED, i sent my first quarter grades last year,, back then i had</p>

<p>b's in these two classes.</p>

<p>but now it 's very likely that im going to have c's </p>

<p>so 2c's in those ap/honors classes.. other classes are b or above</p>

<p>um .. so i was extremely worried that my admission might get canceld </p>

<p>because of those C's</p>

<p>so i went to the school website and asked the admission officer and the reply </p>

<p>was this</p>

<p>There are no set rules to these post-matriculation transcript reviews as each and every situation is taken on a case-by-case basis. Every year a handful of student have their admission rescinded for poor grades, disciplinary actions, and/or providing false information in their application.
As what constitutes poor grades, we will evaluate for a serious downgrade in performance. Typically this is seen in a number of C and D grades, as well as any failures. Having a mild case of "senioritis," struggling with a rigorous curriculum, or a slight drop in your typically perfomance (Bs now instead of As) is all understandable. It is when there are a number of seriously poor grades will a reconsideration be necessary.</p>

<p>im still nor sure about how my grades are ok..
the officer said only "a number of C's or D's" are not safe.</p>

<p>but what do you guys think?</p>

<p>do u think im ok?</p>

<p>i think you're fine, i wouldnt sweat it. by a number of c/d's i think they mean more than half of your classes. and it also depends how big of a decline your grades are. if you went from an A to a C, that may be put into consideration. but since you got 2 b's last year and you're getting 2 c's this year, i wouldn't be too worried. as stated in the last sentence of the reply, i think it is just a 'slight' drop and should be understood by the univ.</p>

<p>I would try to speak by telephone - not email - to someone in the admissions office to discuss the circumstances.</p>
