<p>Do they look at quarter grades or just final grades? Because....I have a a C...I think...But the average out to a B for sure even if I get straight Cs rest of year.</p>

<p>It's in my Theory of Knowledge class though. I was absent for a few classes apparently, and wasn't there to turn in a worksheet that was 5 grades or something....about living life in the 1800s....</p>

<p>I've had As the first 2 9 weeks.</p>

<p>What do I need to do to get my acceptance rescinded? D in final grades or D in quarter grades or Cs etc?</p>

<p>I think final grades that are respectable would be fine. And, in general, even a final C in one humanities class with a good explanation would typically not do you in. But I would work hard to get the final grade up to a B and not worry about it.</p>

<p>In general, your GPA for the last term should not drop more than half a point from usual GPA... our admissions office gets unhappy when people "check out" afte rgetting into college, even though there's a whole other half year of school to go.</p>

<p>I could get Ds the rest of year and my final grade would still be a B, so I guess I'm fine.</p>

<p>By final I mean "total second semester" just to clarify.</p>

<p>Exactly how low do final grades have to be to get admission rescinded? Are low Bs to be avoided?</p>

7

<p>Haha, I actually got an A in TOK....</p>

<p>Looks like I'm fine now.</p>

<p>Would a C in an upper-level college Physics course (that I didn't really have the pre-requisites for) do me in? I have no real reason to expect one, but we have not tests except the final, so I don't really know what to expect. I suppose the explanation that "It was hard" wouldn't really fly?</p>
