<p>I've hear horror stories of students who slack off after they get into their college, make poor grades senior year, and then get a letter over the summer saying that their acceptance has been revoked. How often does this happen, and what are the odds?</p>
<p>A little background information, I'm currently taking all AP courses and one elective, AP Calc BC, AP Literature, AP Environmental Science, and Yearbook. In all honesty though, it's about the least exciting course load I've ever taken. These were kind of the leftovers offered at my school (we only have a handful of APs, and what I wanted for senior year either had no more slots open or was not offered). Demanding classes seem a lot harder when you're not interested in the subject matter, and while I'm sure I can pull an unweighted B at the worst in Lit, Enviro, and Yearbook, I'm getting worried about Calculus. I don't need it to graduate (I'll have seven years worth of math credits by then), and colleges wont see my grade until after they come out with decisions (I got a weighted A in Calc AB), but could a real bad mark in BC put me at risk for an unwanted surprise over the summer?</p>
<p>My top picks are Notre Dame, Cornell, and Washington University, with Emory and Boston College in the running as well. As of now, my stats are fairly competitive for these schools, within the mid-50% margin.</p>
