UPenn Recruited Athlete

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am receiving "academic support" from the athletic department for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences at Penn. </p>

<p>Admissions has said that they will admit me under condition that I attend study hall my Freshman year. For recruited athletes in my sport receiving academic support, the admission rate has been 100% over the past few years.</p>

<p>My academics are-</p>

<p>2.9 GPA (raw)
35 ACT</p>

<p>The coach seems to think that I am "safe". For the first period of the year, I have mostly B's, with one grade that is borderline B/C (it is one of my AP classes). </p>

<p>If admissions has agreed to admit me with a 2.9 and the aforesaid conditions, is having one C on this last set of grades going to screw anything up?</p>

<p>What sort of grades can I earn for the rest of the year and still be safe? I am really worried.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>PS: my transcript has quite a few C’s on it already, so all B’s with one C would be about par for the course.</p>

<p>I had a 3.4 gpa with 1290 SAT. Above average, but not stunning. I got into Notre Dame as a recruited athlete. I’ll let you decide how that compares to your own situation.</p>

<p>In any case, being recruited should be close to automatic admission or else they wouldnt have recruited you.</p>

<p>How did your grades change during the final term of your senior year? Do you think that my C will make any waves?</p>

<p>What about after admission- How much can I “relax” my grades?</p>
