<p>Okay, so I've posted a thread on rescinding offers of admission. I'm worried about my friend who started out with 5 A's and a B when she was admitted to Harvard. There's 4 days til graduation and I think she might get 3 A's, 2 B's, and a C or a D. Ppl say she won't get revoked but I think the C/D is pushing it. I'm wondering if it's better for her to just drop the class (it's the class she got a B- in first semester) or get the C/D. But then I also realize that there's still 4 days til graduation and she still might be able to raise it. </p>
<p>What do you guys think? Rescinded for the C/D? Drop the class (doe that look worse)? Stick it out w/ the C/D possibly B/C?</p>
<p>You, I mean, "your friend," will probably be fine. Try to pull that C up to a B though. C's are yucky. As long as you don't have anything below B's, you're fine, and you're probably still fine with the C. Just relax!</p>
<p>Haha. Are you kidding me? Getting into harvard was a HUGE reach for me. I wouldn't have been stupid enough to have gotten myself in this position. But thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>Hey, would dropping a class be worst of all?</p>
<p>Last year I wanted to drop a class (that I had an A- in, even) and I called my admissions rep to ask if I could and she gave me a very noncommital wishy-washy answer strongly discouraging me from doing so, as if to imply that I could end up taking heat for doing so. </p>
<p>My experience is just anecdotal, but I'd be careful about that.</p>
<p>Dropping a class 4 days before graduation (now 3, I suppose) sounds like a really bad idea. If Harvard accepted your friend with a B-, I don't think they'll be ridiculously harsh on a C. The D is probably still better than dropping the class.</p>
