<p>This is mostly towards those who got accepted under ED1.
These days to be frank, I am slacking off quite a bit and getting bit worried about my grades.
In the admission letter, CMU stated that I should maintain a same level of performance. Say I am a B average student and if my grades turn to C, would that be a problem? Was there any incident where CMU rejected an accepted student because of bad grades?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you get a D or lower in one of your classes, the admissions office may rescind your admission. If you completely fail a class, you’re admission will definitely be rescinded. I think you’re fine if you just get C’s. </p>
<p>I also want to add that I understand your pain :D. I’ve found it difficult to avoid goofing off ever since I was accepted under ED1.</p>
<p>I’ve become more proactive about my school work since getting my admissions acceptance. Haha. I feel like if I slack off now, it will just be harder in a few months when I’ll be double majoring in a school that’s notorious for its overload of homework and lack of free time.</p>
<p>Although, due to just the pure stress of college admissions and studying for the SAT Subject tests which I ended up bombing anyway, my grades this past quarter were significantly lower.</p>
<p>Just remember that it won’t be any easier in college, & now is not the time to pick up bad habits. We can beat the senioritis. (:</p>
<p>xGlassChild, My view of senioritis is actually the inverse of yours. Given the difficulty of most CMU majors, I know that I won’t have time to frequently play video games or watch movies in college. I’ve decided to do such leisurely activities right now when I can “afford” a small drop in my diligence and motivation.</p>

<p>What about AP tests?</p>
<p>For some APs, I am highly doubting that I will get above 3.
can I just not take it?</p>

I think both of our thinkings are acceptable. Haha.
Here’s to hoping that we neither burn ourselves out or get bitten by the lazy bug.</p>

My school doesn’t have AP’s, so I’m not really familiar with them. I’d say that it can’t hurt you physically, but I know that they require buttloads of studying which does kind of hurt your mental health.
That being said, I don’t think you’d have much to lose.</p>
<p>@frodoissmart Carnegie Mellon awards credit for most AP’s so you should definitely take them. As someone who’s gotten fives on 14 of these tests, I don’t think they’re really that difficult or comprehensive. The AP curves are pretty generous IMO so a little bit of studying should be more than sufficient :D</p>
<p>If you do decide to take your AP tests, keep in mind that you’ll probably need all fives to get credit at CMU. Good luck!</p>
