Will Colgate Rescind My Acceptance?

<p>I was accepted to Colgate University, which is my top choice and my dream school and I would like to know what it would take for Colgate to rescind my acceptance. I am an IB student, so I have to do a lot of extra work on top of the AP work I have (our program has us take both the IB and AP tests) and lately I have been having more difficulty than usual with maintaining my grades. I have A's in History, English, Choir,TOK, and Calculus but I have been struggling with my grades in IB/AP Chem and Spanish. My overall grade in Chem is still a B but it is dangerously close to dropping to a C. In Spanish I have a low B, but my teacher has lost her mind and is suddenly making the class more difficult. I am also beginning to feel a lack of motivation to work hard in any of my classes, so that really doesn't help either. </p>

<p>I just want to know whether or not I should panic. </p>

<p>No, no need to panic. It is time to light a fire under your butt and get to work on those two courses. One C isn’t going to kill you. Two is going to get someone’s attention. The best person to talk to about this is an admissions officer at Colgate. They’re going to see the results anyway, and best you know their likely reaction before August when they get the grades. So call them up and say this might happen what could be the result.</p>
