Rescinded offer of admission?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>So I was accepted SCEA to Harvard '17. My grades throughout high school have been stellar, but they've started to drop off a bit. Last quarter my lowest grade was a B+ (my lowest grade ever), and obviously I realize that that's anywhere near bad enough to get rescinded. But, this current (and last) quarter may be a bit worse. Any idea how bad I'd have to do to get rescinded? People keep telling me Harvard would warn me before taking as drastic a step as that, but if it's the last quarter of high school, there's really no way for them to warn me to step it up before they take action. Let's say, worst case scenario, for my 4 classes this quarter, I get an A+, 2 Bs, and a C+? Those would still average somewhat higher with previous quarter averages, but how bad would that be? Thanks for any advice!</p>

<p>You’re probably okay: [A</a> Warning: Colleges Can Change Their Minds - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/18/a-warning-colleges-can-change-their-minds/]A”>A Warning: Colleges Can Change Their Minds - The New York Times)</p>

<p>“Each year, colleges rescind offers to students whose grades plummeted after they were admitted. Generally, one stray “C’’ won’t have serious repercussions. But make it a couple of “D’s on a transcript that had been crammed with A’ s and B’s and there may be trouble.”</p>
