The Big -Itis

<p>I'm a second semester senior now, and for the past couple weeks, I've found myself procrastinating badly and feeling extremely apathetic about my academic performance. I'm aiming for some Ivy League Schools, Stanford, and Duke during the RD round, but just how low would I have to go to for there to be any possibility of my admissions being revoked? After first semester of senior year, I have a 3.9 GPA, with a good number of AP/advanced classes. I even got an award for having the highest weighted GPA among juniors last school year. Also, does past experience generally show that senioritis wears off by the time students start their freshman year of college?</p>

<p>You have to first be accepted into the school for your admission to be revoked…And RD schools only look at your mid-year report.</p>

<p>Dude, me too. I’ve heard that mostly Bs are fine, but Cs are where your problems could begin. Obviously Ds and Fs will result in a revocation, while As are your safest route. Anyone else wanna weigh in? Good luck though… What other Ivys are you applying to?</p>

<p>More than senoritis, it’s the complete freedom that really trips new freshmen up: you can stay up as late as you like, skip all your classes, neglect all your HW and tests, etc. Spend all day playing video games and eating junk food. A lot of people stumble their first semester and get a bunch of C’s and B’s. For most people, this is enough of a reality check to snap them back, but for others this becomes a bad habit.</p>

<p>tl;dr - new problems overshadow senoritis once you start college. How you deal with it is up to you.</p>
