<p>Now that I’m into college, HIGH SCHOOL IS OFFICIALLY OVER!!! so the question remains, How much can I slack off and get away with it? Would I have to get a D or two to get my acceptance revoked or would even like all Bs do it? I need to know how much I can slack off.</p>
<p>Also, will Penn know if I drop a class for the second half of the year, and if yes, will they care? Thanks.</p>
<p>Wondering the same thing. I have all these electives second semester that I don't want to take. If I drop them I'll be able to go home 2 hours early....</p>
<p>I'm not gonna slack off....</p>
<p>but if it comes down to sleep or studying I'm defintely gonna sleep. And I defintely won't fret over an 80 or something on a test...</p>
<p>Hell, I won't fret over anything.</p>
<p>I kinda slacked off the first semester <strong>thank god they didn't call for grades...cough cough</strong>, but I plan to beat it out and finish HS with a BANG! Aiming for straight As the next semester...this means, muwhahhaha, no slacking off for me.</p>
<p>You won't want to slack off because it's not uncommon they will recind offers of admission. In fact, last year I think they send out around 150 <em>warning</em> letters saying to students that their matriculation was in jeopardy. Also, you will want to do well on AP's in order to get credit for some classes before you come here. It'll save you time once you get here so keep working hard but just think of it as college prep stuff now.</p>
<p>The only AP I take that Penn accepts is Bio. And I sure as hell won't get a 5 on it. Maybe I'll study exclusively for that....</p>
<p>so Mark...those 150 people that got warning letters, how bad approx were they doing in school?</p>
<p>There was an Article somewhere that was about the letters. I'll try to dig it up. But basically, it was for kids who were starting to get a lot of Cs. D's and F's is gonna get you a rescinded acceptance letter straight from Mr. Stetson himself - I think on avg., 5-7 of those go out each year.</p>
<p>No idea. Just do the best you can and you'll be fine. Really try to value your high school education as an opportunity to learn what you want to learn and not see HS simply as a means for getting into a good college. Already being accepted to college should give you an englightened view of what HS has to offer you so really make efforts to take advantage of that. </p>
<p>Keep working hard and doing well in your classes. It'll only serve you well in the future.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
