<p>I'm just wondering... I'll be a senior next year and I plan to get amazing grades the first half of the year. I then plan on slacking off. My question is, how big a drop in grades willl really cause a college to reconsider its decision? Will A's to B's cause problems?</p>
<p>For the UCs, they require at least a B average and no Ds or Fs for your senior year grades. Everywhere else depends on arbitrary policies.</p>
<p>It doesn't exactly look great that you can't finish out the last little semester of high school strong...just saying.</p>
<p>Two of my friends Failed Calculus and UCSB and UCSD have not told them anything. How completely unfair.</p>
<p>As to Bs are FINE. Straight Bs are fine for most places. Just avoid Ds like the plague, and limit Cs.</p>

<p>Alright thanks that's what I thought. I don't anticipate too much difficulty in keeping A-'s or B+'s with minimal effort but I just wanted to know how much leeway I had.</p>
<p>As and Bs, and maybe the occasional C shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, if you're taking AP classes, I'd try not to slack off too much, as the tests are pretty late in the year..</p>
