<p>Well it's the end of the year and I'm wondering if my grades have dipped too far. Does anyone know when Stanford might consider rescinding admissions? Are there are any current Stanford students who had a low senior second semester who might provide insight?</p>
<p>go onto the admit stanford website and look at the message boards. i recall seeing a conversation about this, and that has a lot of current stanford students to answer questions.</p>
<p>Thanks for asking, because I've been curious about that too (maybe too much heh). But don't make me go to the admit stanford website! That thing is the devil for my dial-up modem.</p>
<p>well, if i don't actually start doing all these projects my teachers assigned (what happened to lightening up after the AP test?) then i'm going to be more concerned....here are some of the posts...</p>
<p>"One kid on the Yahoo board got in early and they put his application under review because he got like 2 C's and 2 B's or something--if he's on, maybe he can tell you more about it. Anyway, after that I'm just careful to keep things out of C range but I'm definitely not bending over backwards for the A anymore."</p>
<p>"i wouldn't worry about it. getting a few B's is no big deal. I know plenty of people here at Stanford who have experienced the same thing. a little senioritis is always unavoidable - don't sweat it. that doesn't mean give up though. even straight B's shouldn't be an issue. </p>
<p>best of luck in the future,

<p>"Hey guys, </p>
<p>I know a lot of you are worried about your second semester grades--but you shouldn't be! I, like you, went from straight A's to a couple B's my second semester, and it was totally fine. I would just suggest that you keep your grades in the A and B range. </p>
<p>After all, it IS your second semester, senior year, and you've gotten into Stanford. Enjoy yourselves! </p>

<p>"Not to scare anybody (esp. because I'm an athlete recruit), but I did receive a letter after first semester grade report saying my grades were on a "significant downward trend" and my application was under review! </p>
<p>But listen to this...I got 3 B's and 4 A's!! I don't think that that is so bad for an early admit senior, but i guess they're harsher on athletes. And 2 of those B's were in AP classes! anyway, it's been cleared up now, but I'm obviously still really worried and stressed about 2nd semester. I personally think it's really unfair that they would do that, but I guess they want to make sure that senioritis doesn't set in too much. Anyway, I'll definitely be watching my grades carefully this semester. Has this happened to anyone else?"</p>
