senior year grades

<p>Assuming I am accepted, I am wondering how senior grades could hurt me after I send in first semester's transcript. The three problems are the three AP classes I am taking: calc, euro, and environmental science. Calc is well in the C range, but APES and AP euro are a 79 and a 78. Would this lead them to repeal acceptance? Even though they are all ap classes? Note: All other classes are high B's and some high A's in honors classes. I am in two math classes including Calc, the other one being advanced math college prep which I received a high B+ in. My only elective this year is college business principles honors. A really difficult is what I'm trying to say, and would they take this into consideration as well?</p>

<p>You shouldn’t have to worry about getting your acceptance revoked. As long as you have some grades in the B range, the C grades will be fine. And also make sure you don’t get any D’s in any classes. </p>

<p>But don’t let this be an excuse to slack off second semester senior year :)</p>

<p>Pierre0913,
What is the lowest GPA and SAT’s that you’ve heard of for getting into Clemson?</p>

<p>I probably have one of the lowest GPA’s. I got a 3.06 GPA and was ranked 140th in my class of 275. However, I took all honors/AP classes, had an ACT score of 34 and my high school is among the top high schools in the country so I think I had stats to make up for my GPA. I know my roommate had a 3.5 GPA yet was initially wait listed. Not sure about SAT scores since I haven’t asked anybody (nobody cares anymore anyways) but I know that it’d be hard to get in if your SAT score is below 1150 (combined math+critical reading only).</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. My son has a 3.2 (because his freshman year was not great) but Junior and senior years he has 90 average with 1250 SAT’s. We were just wondering. It hard to figure hype from reality.</p>

<p>when you say D…i have a 71 in AP Calc currently but thts only because I did horribly on the midterm, but regardless it is a 71. Would the fact that I’m taking two math classes make that less of a big deal, and the fact that its the first time I’ve taken a math class other than a college prep math class and they would just see it as a poor choice of class more than anything else?</p>

<p>if it’s a D just in one class (especially in an AP class), I’m pretty sure they would be ok with that. However, if your grades are C’s and D’s then I would be pretty concerned about getting an acceptance revoked.</p>

<p>In this article about the University of Washington ([Local</a> News | UW revokes admission offers in severe cases of “senioritis” | Seattle Times Newspaper](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003286270_uwadmissions03m.html]Local”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003286270_uwadmissions03m.html))
it says that there are 3 categories of students who’s acceptances got revoked:</p>

<p>1) A and B grades dropped to C’s, D’s and F’s
2) Failed a required class (such as math, say if Clemson requires 4 years of math which it does)
3) Students listed that they were taking challenging courses senior year on the application but then later dropped the classes.</p>
