<p>I'm another senior who has been suffering from severe senioritis. </p>
<p>My advisor keeps scaring me to get my grades up.</p>
<p>I read in another thread about senioritis that unless you get "a number of" Cs and Ds, you will be fine.</p>
<p>Currently, I'm getting one C, one D, two Bs, and an A. ( I'm getting D in an AP Bio...)</p>
<p>But the thing is it's too late to get those grades up since we aren't doing anything after the AP tests. </p>
<p>is one D and one C going to put me in a dicey situation where I could possibly get my acceptance rescinded??? I mean it's one C and one D,,,not a number of Cs and Ds...</p>
<p>I am freaking out these days...</p>
<p>What's the best thing I can do at this point? </p>
<p>I would appreciate any answer or advice.</p>
<p>senioritis is bs excuse to be lazy</p>
<p>I know they say if your performance changes dramatically you are subject to getting your admission rescinded…but I think that is on a case by case basis. So if you have been a straight A student in the past…I think that D is going to something you should worry about. And honestly, I would worry about it regardless of your past performance.</p>
<p>one C and one D will do you nothing.</p>
<p>Any’s C’s or D’s at this level selectivity can get your admission taken away.</p>
<p>I’m fairly certain a D will remove you from the running. Most colleges (including Hopkins as far as I know) say a 3.0 average with no more than one C. Your current GPA is a 2.6. Better get the C and D up.</p>
<p>My friend had straight A’s earlier but has a couple of C’s in his final report but thatz because he was sick for the past couple of months. Does JHU take into account certain special circumstances while considering a drop in grades?</p>
<p>if i were you … i would be worried.</p>
<p>Felix:
I think the best thing you can do is get on the phone (or go in person) to JHU admissions and discuss your concerns. WoI is right that it could cause them to drop you, but if there are CIRCUMSTANCES which led to these grades, and you get out IN FRONT of it, you are more likely to get a favorable outcome. They admitted you, so there is something they like about you…Just give them a reason to continue believing in you.</p>
<p>Also, forget senior-itis. Dont make excuses that are (as bagels said) BS.<br>
Illness
Absense due to college visits
Difficulty with the subject matter…</p>
<p>Also prepare to mention the POSITIVE steps you took (successful or not) in curing these grades. A letter of reccomendation from those teachers would not hurt either. </p>
<p>If you wait until JHU sees these grades and try to explain it after the fact, the outcome might be VERY unfavorable.</p>
so my ending grades were the highest they’ve ever been lol
I think we all catch it at some point lol
