<p>This. Some students may elect to take more difficult classes their senior year (for whatever reason) which might explain a few C’s. But failing classes when you used to have a B or even a C average just shows colleges that you aren’t willing to see things through to the end. </p>
<p>In the end, it’s up to the colleges to decide what constitutes poor academic performance (unless they have a specific cutoff). However, I still think they should take into account the fact that senioritis does exist, and is quite common. Students may be burned out from 4 continuous years of preparing for college (especially if they were doing summer classes or internship) and perhaps it is logical for them to cut back the intensity during the last few weeks/months of their senior year.</p>
<p>But if a student just stops working, they should get rescinded.</p>
