<p>I just graduated high school and plan on going to Indiana University.
When I applied, my unweighted GPA was 2.8, weighted was 3.17.
My SAT: 1800 My ACT: 29
My brother just graduated from IU, and my sister also goes there and is in very good standing.</p>
<p>However, my final grades were pretty bad. Although my GPA was not very impressive before, I ended up with all C's and one D+. Whenever I ask anyone about this, they say I will be fine, that they will probably just send me a stern letter asking me to shape up for college. On one hand, I am inclined to believe it, because almost all of my classes are honors classes, it is a state school, and my family is in good standing, but at the same time I really did mess up. I am so scared about my offer getting rescinded- can anyone help me on this subject?</p>
<p>Though I doubt this will go over well on this forum my advice to you would be don’t head straight to college. Looking at your grades I would say you at this time don’t have your head in the game and if you go to college that way you will do very poorly. Being at or near the bottom of you graduating class severely limits your future opportunities. Perhaps join the military or get a job and go back to college once you make a decision that it really is what you want to do.</p>
<p>I don’t think you will be rescinded. you’re instate, right? </p>
<p>Looks like you had some bad senioritis.</p>
<p>Here’s some advice…shape up in college and don’t set yourself up for failure.</p>
<p>Don’t take 8 am classes unless you’re a natural early riser. Don’t take too many hard classes your first semester. Balance your schedule.</p>
<p>I agree with mom2collegekids on all counts. Try and be smarter about your personal life and discipline from here on out, and make choices that you know fit you.</p>
<p>To answer your actual question though, students go way overboard worrying about this all the time. You graduated, which means you met all the requirements. Their acceptance of you did not say “Oh, and by the way, you also have to maintain at least a 2.8” or anything like that, did it? Because unless it did, you have a contract with them that says they have to take you unless you violated some specific condition of the contract. Look at your acceptance letter and materials they sent you, but I doubt you will find anything like that. If you do, come back on here and tell us exactly what it says.</p>
