<p>hi...i posted my thread about this topic before,..but not many people have replied....i wanna hear more people's opinions on this,.</p>
<p>i havre been admitted to a private college under ED..</p>
<p>since it was ED, i sent my first quarter grade in November..</p>
<p>i have one ap and one honors class and back then, i had b's in them..</p>
<p>but now,..after i have been admitted, it seems like i m going to get D or hopefully C- in Ap Calculus...and C+ or hopefully B- in H.Physics..</p>
<p>i know that i have been slacking so much...after the result came out..</p>
<p>but i heard that mid year report is very important..
so i sent a letter to the admission officer and the reply was this.</p>
<p>There are no set rules to these post-matriculation transcript reviews as each and every situation is taken on a case-by-case basis. Every year a handful of student have their admission rescinded for poor grades, disciplinary actions, and/or providing false information in their application.
As what constitutes poor grades, we will evaluate for a serious downgrade in performance. Typically this is seen in a number of C and D grades, as well as any failures. Having a mild case of "senioritis," struggling with a rigorous curriculum, or a slight drop in your typically perfomance (Bs now instead of As) is all understandable. It is when there are a number of seriously poor grades will a reconsideration be necessary.</p>
<p>im still not confirmed about my status..
im worried that my admission might get revoked.. what do u guys think?</p>
<p>Why don't you just say JHU...I visit the JHU forums a lot and recognized that response...</p>
<p>Worst case scenario: Your admission gets revoked</p>
<p>Next Best Scenario: Your admission gets revoked, but you send in a plea letter with better grades and a A/B final average. You're off the hook.</p>
<p>2nd Next Best Scenario: You're put on Academic probation, meaning you have to hold a certain GPA at Hopkins. If you can't, you're kicked out.</p>
<p>Best Scenario: They overlook this major case of Senioritis.</p>
<p>Calculus (BC I assume) is one of the harder courses in HS...but a D is really pushing it, considering you probably had A's and B's in previous math classes. Physics AP is murder (my class's midterm average was a D...yeah complete shocker) but Physics Honors...? I thought it was somewhat manageable. A C in a non-Ap class may hurt.</p>
<p>Yeah - there's not much you can do now. You'll just have to hope that their app pool isn't very strong... Remember, if they do choose to revoke your admission (which hopefully w/n happen), you can always write them a letter protesting (or whatever word that is) the decision and explaining your situation. On the other hand, if you don't have an excuse, then you might not be in such a good situation.</p>
<p>Given that your grades have seriously dropped and you have no excuse but senioritis, unless you can raise those grades before midterm grades come out, I think that your admission may be revoked or you may be told that unless your grades drastically rise by the time you graduate, your admission will be revoked.</p>
<p>Getting in ED was a big deal, and JHU surely expected that you'd continue to be a strong student, not a student getting Cs and a D. If you were now applying for regular admission, you probably would not get in because JHU would not want a student with Cs and Ds at midterm senior year grades.</p>
<p>Until about 2011, the application pool at all U.S. colleges is expected to become increasingly competitive, so I doubt that JHU is looking at a weak application pool. It's probably their most competitive year ever.</p>
<p>I suggest that in additon to studying your butt off, you also start considering what college you may be able to gain admission to if JHU revokes your admission. The first place to look are at the public universities in your home state.</p>
<p>The director of admission at a top five LAC told my D that a B was acceptable in AP Calculus for an A student due to the difficulty of the course and especially if math is not the student's area of strength.</p>
<p>The H Physics should be a B+ or higher but really an A or A-.</p>
