Second Semester Grades?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>It's the typical question. </p>

<p>You guessed it. </p>

<p>I've always been a Straight-A student and have been accepted to CU (the college). YES! </p>

<p>But now I'm a little concerned because I'm having difficulty with the final month or so of my six APs. </p>

<p>Here's what I'm taking
AP Calc AB
AP Statistics
AP Spanish
AP Lit
AP Gov
AP Bio </p>

<p>Will my admission be revoked if I got B's and B+'s in Calc, Bio, AND Stats? </p>

<p>Or is that unlikely? I know that most people say that a college will only rescind if your grades have significantly dropped, like if you failed a class, but what about an across-the-board general decline? </p>

<p>I'm a worried about this--I'm seriously trying very hard but at this point I just don't know if putting in even MORE time would yield any increase in my grades. </p>

<p>Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks : )</p>

<p>They usually wont but if things are tight this year and I wouldnt give them any reason to even think of rescinding my admissions. At most get like two B’s, better yet go talk to your teachers they have to be some what understanding!
Congrats</p>

<p>I had a friend who got a 70 in a class and couple 80s. They did give him a warning and I think they put him on probation, but its highly unlikely they’ll rescind your offer (unless you fail a class or two)</p>

<p>If you don’t graduate, then obviously they will rescind, but short of that, or maybe failing a couple of classes, they won’t.</p>

<p>Do not do this. You made the choice to slack second semester, and so did I and a thousand people. So don’t go ask your teacher to “be understanding” and bump your grade. That’s spineless.</p>

<p>I would recommend you do go to your teacher, not to get a free pass, but maybe a bit more help. One of the things you might have noticed, and will notice in college, is that when you show you are trying your best and you want to succeed, teachers like you more. Going in talk to your teacher about your study habits or offered extra credit (Don’t ask unless it’s offered) looks good. If you do this, then when grade time comes and your sitting on the edge of two grades, (B+ and A- maybe) most will bump you up.</p>

<p>I think that you’re worrying about this too much; my username is overthink, not yours. If you’ve already been accepted, the admissions obviously know what you’re capable of and would like you to attend Columbia. I highly doubt that a couple of Bs or B+'s will cause them to rescind their offer of admission. As long as you don’t get like a D, I think you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Is it bad that I’m not taking any AP tests? I was accepted early, by the way.</p>
