<p>I have a 3.97 GPA up until now but it'll probably dip a bit.</p>
<p>Will they rescind my admissions for a C and a lot of B's?</p>
<p>I think they would. A C is basically dead already, and a lot of B's to go along with, you might as well get ready for a local or state school.</p>
<p>No. One C won't kill you. As long as you can pull up some of those grades to A's next semester, you should be fine. Don't let it drop anymore though.</p>
<p>Are you sure? From everything I have heard, a C for the Ivy's is thin ice.</p>
<p>One C isn't killer. Anymore, and there may be an issue. Thats just seems logical.</p>
<p>Don't drop more than one letter grade. So while one C isn't so bad, going from A to C will not look good. I don't think they'd rescind so easily though-- most likely they'd send a letter saying that they're disappointed, or put you on academic probation once you start.</p>
<p>"put you on academic probation once you start."</p>
<p>oooo ouch that would suck. carrying high school baggage to college. . . . .</p>
<p>Yea it really would. So kids, keep your grades up! lol</p>
<p>i heard that as long as you dont get anything below a D you're fine...
they'd be pretty lenient i'd think..
after all, anyone would want to relax in high schl after getting accepted to a college</p>
<p>a C is thin ice? </p>
<p>actually, from what i've heard, once low grade isn't that bad. as long as you don't outright fail, i don't think a dip in grades will really hurt you.</p>
<p>they've accepted you already. they want you. why would they turn you away unless you gave them supreme reason to????</p>
<p>Because in december they took the person with straight A's and suddenly a person with straight D's is enrolling? I don't think they want people with that kind of work ethic. Just to be safe, don't go beyond a letter drop. I think there are some schools for which you're fine as long as you don't outright fail, but considering this is an ivy with many many qualified candidates, I don't think it's smart to put yourself in any kind of jeopardy.</p>
<p>I wonder if Columbia likes its RD admits and matriculants better, if they decide once it's too late and the RD round has come along that they've admitted a good egg who turned bad.</p>
<p>zantedeschia ... i wasn't suggesting borderline failure.</p>
<p>but hey, it's 2nd semester. you've worked all of high school and you'll work hard in college. just take the APs and stop stressing about grades.</p>
