<p>First off, sorry for bringing up a topic that has probably been discussed to death, but all the answers I've seen have been so varied, and for different schools. Anyways, it would be great if any of you guys could help clear some confusion. </p>
<p>What kind of grade drop does it take to get rescinded or put on academic probation? Say, someone gets accepted ED with a 95+ uw average, and lets that drop into the 80s the second half of the year. Is that cause for concern, or does one need to be borderline failing?</p>
<p>I have been accepted ED, too, and my grades have also been dropping similarly to yours. I think it happens to everyone. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, but I would also like to hear another person’s opinion, preferably someone who knows much more than I do.</p>
<p>I would not worry about it.
I have never heard or read about anyone getting their admission rescinded, no matter what, as long as they graduate high school
If you are in, you are in and that’s it.
Congratulations.</p>
<p>just how steep are we talking islander? i was a straight a student for all of high school until last semester, in which i got 2 Bs. this semester, i have like ALL Bs right now. it’s not because i’ve gotten stupider this year lol… it’s just that i’m doing like no work anymore even though i’m still taking 4 AP classes</p>
<p>Chill, everyone. Rescinding is very rare. You’re going to have to do something drastic, i.e., get suspended, fail all your classes, to get rescinded. The major universities understand human nature; you’re ready to move on, you’ve worked hard, you need to breathe; it’s understood.</p>
<p>Advice: enjoy the next few months. Continue to work, because you’ll need to keep yourself ready for Cornell. At the same time, stop to enjoy life a little: the last weeks of high school, time with your family, friends that are going other places, etc. In other words, don’t lose focus put also spend time to smell the roses.</p>
