<p>So....now that the school year is over, I've started to worry about being rescinded.
Does Carleton have a specific policy about rescinding students??
Second semester of my senior year I got 1 C, 3Bs, and 2As. My GPA before this year was 3.8
Am I at any risk of being rescinded or am I just being paranoid?</p>
<p>Paranoid. (Which you are to take with the smile with which the word was typed.)</p>
<p>Paranoid - you’re fine :)</p>
<p>How badly do i have to do to get kicked out???</p>
<p>Im in 6 APs and jazzband.</p>
<p>I have 2 As, 3 Bs, a B+ and a B-. I was accepted with a 3.85.</p>
<p>If i get a few D’s is it okay??</p>
<p>I’d rather focus on learning than stupid highschool bul**** assignments that dont teach me anything.</p>
<p>It is probably NOT ok to “get a few Ds”. Take a deep breath, finish those “stupid” assignments, and know that your days of having to suffer through ridiculous high school tasks are limited. When you get to Carleton, you can enjoy the “real learning” that you crave.</p>
<p>What about c’s. In ap computer science for example, I haven’t done homework in two months because I put in a lot of work early on when everyone else quit on their homework because it was “too hard” but I put in my time of sometimes 4 hours on one small assignment. Now I’m ahead and instead of doing homework I’m working with some friends on making a computer version of Cards Against Humanity (there’s an online version but it’s blocked) and that’s so much harder and more challenging and teaches me so much more than the homework.
I just have a hard time picking the assignment that’s for points but not so much for learning, the one based on extrinsic motivation, over the one I am learning from and am passionate about.
I still have an A in that class because I’ve nailed the tests and projects and I had 105% when I quit the classes homework, but next semester I’ll have to start all over with my grade and I’d much rather finish Cards Against Humanity so that we can release it for the whole school to play and enjoy after AP exams. I want to leave something that will be passed down from USB to USB for many years at the school.
I want to be able to look back on senior year and say, “wow, I started the year having never programmed in my life, and now I’ve completed this huge project,” not, “that was boring.”
Also my English teacher who is a big believer in extrinsic motivation threatened to send carleton a letter I was lazy just because I told her I didn’t care about grades any more as long as they weren’t too bad. I’m kind of offended that she would even threaten to do that and I want to know if she can/will because if she’s making threats she can’t back I want to tell her that I know she can’t and that if she decides to take it into the area of trying to destroy me, I will try to destroy her. I want to be able to go up to her and say its on now.
But I don’t want to overtly do this if she really might send a letter like that…</p>
Hello! I am in a similar situation, no D’s. I would like to know if you ended up attending Carleton?
