Senior Year Grades

<p>im just going by what my college counselor said - that it's going to hurt a lot. especially brown</p>

<p>I am going to make a bold statement: A straight A to A+ senior with the credentials to back him/her up (SAT scores, extracurriculars, AP exams, etc.) WILL NOT be rescinded admission from ANY school for anything up to a C second semester. Short of going from straight As to straight Ds, colleges know and understand the "senioritis" bug and EXPECT it. Yes, even the elite Harvard and Yale. If they offered you admission in the first place, you would have to truly mess up big time to get it rescinded. I am applying to MANY elite colleges, and WILL NOT stress out if a C or two chooses to appear on my report card. Sure I'm a usual straight A student, but it's senior year, ENJOY IT!! BTW, nice post shankar!</p>

<p>I'm not talking about second semester.</p>

<p>Kek @ rshankar. </p>

<p>I got 2 C's this semester, and quite spazzed out. But I really honestly don't care anymore. I got into one college. The two C's are in classes I will never touch seriously again or major in. So. Yah. </p>

<p>I actually asked my counselor and he "pffbbtt" at me. ;|</p>

<p>I hope you know what you're talking about, buddy...</p>

<p>My counselor said that UCs generally don't consider senior year grades for admission. They just make sure your not failing out...</p>

<p>I think that for the next few years senior grades may become very important simply because of the large number of student and so few spots. More people are accepting spots on waitlist for their first choice schools and are definitley not slacking off.</p>

<p>No school wants to see you doing less than your best work and taking for granted that just because you have been admitted, that you no longer have to work</p>

<p>Also, if you improve your grades from previous years, then that might just be your ticket into college.</p>
