<p>Will I be screwed if it happens?</p>
<p>Probably. I know a person who got rescinded for 2 Cs. (She was admitted to Smith college for ED)</p>
<p>Really? I’ve really never heard anyone getting rescinded for C’s ! I think you’d better check and see that your friend was really admitted ED! That means she had to withdraw from all other colleges before being rescinded and would be unable to attend college! Is that what occurred or is there more to this unlikely story?</p>
<p>
The UC schools require you maintain a 3.0 senior year. Enough C’s could pull you below that.</p>
<p>To the OP, it depends on your college. At some schools you might be rescinded if you earn any non-passing grade.</p>
<p>I’ve known kids rescinded for C’s. You have a fair chance of being rescinded for a D. Depends on the school.</p>
<p>Don’t you have time :)</p>
<p>So you mean even if i get accepted RD at a college I could get rescinded when my final senior year grades come out? Man, oh man. Better get moving now, in the middle of my finals 
Having a hard time keeping myself motivated</p>
<p>you will probably get a letter asking for an explanation --if it’s one class and your other classes have stayed on par. You nee a good explanation and senioritis is not it! medical, emotional, hardship etc. speak with your gc</p>
<p>It probably won’t be an issue if all of your other classes have stayed on par. Colleges expect some level of senioritis. It also depends on what your GPA was up to this point. Talk to your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>also i think colleges only look at your final grade…so depending on how good your first semester grade was (assuming its a year-long class) your final grade will likely be above a D for that class</p>
<p>somewhat high</p>
<p>@horrace: the RD offer is conditional on your final grades. Yes they can and do rescind people for being stupid that late in the game.</p>
<p>@T26E4: Okay thanks. But by conditional you mean that they could rescind someone for a significant drop in their grades. They don’t give you a grade you need to attain in your finals, right? They just expect a moderately good performance.</p>
<p>"They just expect a moderately good performance. " Right</p>
<p>I’m serious, isn’t that what they want?</p>
<p>T26E4 (if he’ll forgive me for presuming to answer) was serious, too: “a moderately good performance” is what they expect.</p>
<p>I’m going to get a C as a quarter grade (not semester grade) and I’ll definitely have a B as my 2nd semester grade and unfortunately a B as a final grade- in 1 class. If I got a C in just 1 quarter (not semester, my school has a different grading system I guess) should I be worried about getting rescinded? I’m applying to elite tier top 30 schools like Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, etc</p>
<p>Err the problem is I have an F right now -___-</p>
<p>I know I can bring it up to a D for sure, but a C may be a bit of a stretch though.</p>
<p>I have all A’s otherwise though, would that make up for it?</p>
<p>My projected (worst case scenario) GPA at the end of this semester would be a 3.2UW/4.2W</p>
<p>bump .</p>
<p>Look, it’s just better to finish what you started in the best way possible. When I was a senior in HS I worked hard and so my second sem I took a few liberties, but not many.
I ended up getting one C but kept my GPA up overall.</p>
<p>As I moved through life I learned that when undertaking anything, it is really important to give it your best effort. I have felt personally disappointed the few times that I did not. So its really about learning to give everything you do your best effort, all the way to the finish line. Or else, you let yourself down and maybe you miss out on an opportunity or live with a disappointment. </p>
<p>My suggestion is to contain senior-itis, take a few liberties if you wish, but apply the best effort you can to finish what you have started. Getting grades is not only about getting into college, it is still learning and learning to persevere to the end of any project. The life lessons go beyond the earning of a few grades for the sole purpose of college.</p>
