UNC Mid Year Grades not up to par Letter

<p>I got accepted into UNC. This is my dream school. I submitted my mid-year grades a week ago. This is what they were:</p>

<p>Tennis - A+
Honors e-Commerce - A+
Med Sci I - C (This is pending though. I grade was misplaced and my teacher is in the process of changing this grade, should be a B)
AP Earth Science - C (year long)
AP Statistics - A (year long)</p>

<p>I know these grades are not up to par with what it was my previous years, which they stated in the letter. The Med Sci grade should become B within the next few weeks. I believe I will get an A in the 3 new classes I have this semester and in AP Stats. AP Earth science is the only class which I may end up with a C in the end, which I am 5pts away from a B. The worst case scenario is that I get two C's, which they already know about based on my mid-year grades. I am trying my best to keep my grades as high as they can, especially in AP Earth. I absolutely would be devastated to be denied admission now. </p>

<p>My questions is, what is the probability that they will deny my acceptance based on my grades? What can I do get my grades up (motivation?) Any personal stories related to this? Please, any help would be great.</p>

<p>Don’t sweat it but get the grades as high as you can. They’re not rescinding acceptances because of a single B and C. I think they really only rescind them in drastic cases where the applicant ends up with D’s and F’s.</p>

<p>Could you be more specific as to what that letter said? Did it come off like a ‘shot across the bow’ or a slap on the wrist, or did it have more serious language in it, like ‘rescind’ or anything like that? Thanks, </p>

<p>I got this too (a C in Physics and a B- in Lit is probably why), and it seemed more like a reminder that you still need to put work into your classes. It was basically “you didn’t perform up to where we expected you to perform first semester, make sure your full-year grades are better”.</p>

<p>anything about rescinding your offer IF your final grades don’t match up with what they’re expecting? What additional language was used? It does sound like an important matter to address and not something frivolous, but there are many people on this board that can weigh in with experience and give insight, like jessimo for example.</p>

<p>It looks like they may require final grades in these particular cases? In all cases? I’m not familiar with any of this as I just got in via the EA to Carolina as well so I’m learning about it too. </p>
