<p>Uh .... I'm sorta not doing so hot in my senior year.</p>
<p>LOL it isn't that bad. But just about anything other than an A is a stark contrast compared to my perfect 4.0 junior year (with 4 APs, two IBs, and four science courses, mind you). </p>
<p>Let's say I get accepted to Rice ED .... just what will get me rejected in terms of midyear grades?</p>
<p>Put it this way, do your best. If you can bring up your grades, then do it. Make sure everything is a B or higher.</p>
<p>Are there strict guidelines - e.g. you must maintain a 3.5 throughout senior year?</p>
<p>Is there any empirical evidence regarding what’ll work and what won’t?</p>
<p>Anyone get rejected after the midyear report was sent?</p>
<p>Bottom line what happens when I get a C?</p>
<p>According to what I’ve read (which is for Dartmouth, not Rice) any C on your mid-year report will cause you to be re-evaluated. However, if you have only one C and it is in a class like AP Calculus, you should be fine.</p>
