<p>It's Senior year, Second Semester. I got accepted.</p>
<p>I currently have</p>
<p>AP Physics C -> A
Wind Ensemble -> A
AP Calculus AB -> D
AP Government -> C
English 12 -> A
Basketball PE -> A</p>
<p>I might be able to pull my Calc grade up to a C, but Im not completely positive.</p>
<p>Would the University of Washington rescind my admission if they see these types of grades in my final transcripts?</p>
<p>Those A’s are pretty awesome. I heard (it’s not confirmed though) that most schools in the same tier as UW rescind admission if your GPA for senior year dips below a 2.00. And I think that’s JUST senior year, not your accumulative GPA.</p>
<p>But I’d definitely try to pull that Calc grade up to at least a C.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I have a 3.11 this semester and I’m not about to freak out until I get below a 3.0 haha</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s anything to really worry about, but yeah you should at least try to get the Calc grade up a bit. Senior-itis sucks but just push through it.</p>
<p>I don’t think grades like that should be acceptable. It’s insulting to the people who have worked really hard to get into UW all the way through their senior year. Not to mention those who didn’t and put forth the same amount of effort. But it’s easy to get lazy, especially when you’re just relieved to have finally finished it all. I think you’re fine, but there are cases where the U rescinded admissions. From what I read in an article a few years ago, they don’t like D’s, but you’ll get warned if you get C’s. </p>

<p>Keep in mind this year is very competitive, and they’ve rejected and wait-listed people with better grades than yours.</p>
<p>^I don’t see how it’s insulting to people who work hard and were accepted, but I see how it can be disheartening for those who were rejected.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think it’s all pretty relative. If you look at the classes that the OP is taking, it’s not exactly like they’re all easy, walk-through-the-park classes. I’d congratulate his or her initiative to finish out high school with a few challenging courses.</p>
<p>Well my only point is that it equates people with poorer grades to those with better ones, not including those who may have had a bad freshman or sophomore year. It undermines the encouragement colleges give to keep working hard all through your senior year. Calculus isn’t a walk in the park, but English 12 is.</p>
<p>…and think about it this way. Wouldn’t you be frustrated if someone in a class or any work place completely slacked off and ignored their tasks, and received the same grade or paycheck amount as you?</p>
<p>Your point doesn’t really make any sense, but maybe it’s just me.</p>
<p>You’re saying that someone who has grades that aren’t up to UW’s standards all throughout High School is being insulted by someone who worked hard for grades up to the University’s standards up until Second Semester of Senior year?</p>
<p>So people with consistent, mediocre work are being insulted by my relief that I’m going to college?</p>
<p>I would be frustrated if someone received the same grade or paycheck as me by slacking off. But that’s not what we’re talking about. I slacked off and my grade reflects that. Someone else who worked harder second semester would obviously have a better grade in a particular class. So I’m not sure what you were trying to say there.</p>
<p>who gives a ****. … really. worry about yourself, not others. if this person is getting these grades and trying there best, college will be a wake up call. and for the people who are still getting all A’s, while its there education.
uw doesnt just look at grades, its the essays, the sat or act scores, and much more!</p>
<p>By trying to look too closesly and find lapses in my logic, you obviously ignored what I said. I said people who “have put forth the same amount of effort.” People got rejected this year with awesome grades and SAT’s. I also included those who were actually accepted.</p>
<p>And this person is asking for other people’s opinions on a forum. Therefore, I will put forth my opinion. People shouldn’t get babied just because they survived high school. What you try to convey to colleges is that you are ready for the real world. Inability to accept consequences for your actions does not show that; nor does believing there is a safety cushion for not working hard. If anyone argues with that, they are no better than a mom who continues to buy her obese son Happy Meals everytime he cries for one, and in turn cries for his health.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be so defensive. Look at what you’re telling people.</p>
