<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Well I was just wondering, for people who were accepted in December or who will be accepted in April, WHAT GRADES DO WE STILL NEED? And at what point does it become dangerous and Penn might send us an "un-acceptance"??</p>
<p>I really wanna slack off now, and im sur eim not the only one.</p>
<p>It's never explicitly stated, but go by this rule: don't let your gpa for second semester drop significantly below your cumulative gpa up until now. I'm assuming you're an A student. A few B's are okay, but you're taking a big risk with a C, and D's and F's are unacceptable, obviously. People have mentioned that they were fine with a C, but I'd stay in the A-B range if I were you. I was all A's until second semester, when I got two B's in AP Gov and Calc BC.</p>
<p>so all a's to all b's would be kind of bad?</p>
<p>I mean to be completely honest I got an F and a D my last semester.... they didn't care.</p>
<p>but stick with As and Bs and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>If you're a committed enough student to get into a school like Penn, you should be able to slack off some and still get As/Bs, unless your school is crazy competitive or something. Besides, most of your classmates will be doing the same thing...</p>
<p>Tickytock: your school must really be competitive or something. D and F and they didnt care?? WOW. A straight A girl at my school got accepted to Stanford couple years ago. She got a B 2nd semester and Stanford changed its mind. Maybe it's gotta do with the competitiveness of the school and your record...idk.</p>
<p>I definitely think there was more to the story with the Stanford girl... one B??</p>
<p>Well. that's what she told me anyways. we were not best friends or anything but we talk occassionally, so she might not have told me the whole story. but the thing is, my hs is not very competitive (back then, we were a D school according to API then), and she's also asian. i dont know if those two factors have anything to do with it, but she did get a B and got rejected. then again, it's also standford we are talking about...they have weird admission criteria seeing how many SaT 2300+ applicants got rejected.</p>
<p>@ KitKatz. I understand that you don't know the whole situation, but no school would reject an already accepted student for one B second semester. My friend got at least 2-3 C's second semester. He got a letter from Stanford telling him that they weren't happy, but he was fine.</p>
<p>My counselor told me today that an accepted student once got a C, and Penn asked for an explanation... but the explanation was legitimate and he didnt get unaccepted.</p>
