Worried about grades

<p>I already got in ED, should I worried about AP Stat and AP Phyiscs dropping to Cs? It's not for lack of effort, and I have an A in BC Calc. Thanks!</p>

<p>my first answer is no.</p>

<p>then my question is why are you getting a C in AP Stats and an A in BC Calc?</p>

<p>My guess is teacher-related. My son’s school is that way – several of the AP teachers feel that they need to make the course as difficult as possible, and grade as difficult as possible, in order to prepare their students for the AP exam. They don’t seem to realize that a 5 on the AP exam but a C (or lower!) in the course means that their students will earn AP credit at schools that won’t admit them due to low grades.</p>

<p>W&M does review the first semester grades and final grades of all early decision admits (and the final grades of all regular decision admits). Your admission status is contingent upon continued demonstration of academic strength so do your best to keep your grades at the level they were upon admission. If you have any questions or concerns regarding downturns in academic performance, feel free to contact the Admission Office.</p>
