My Grades Are Awful ? Can I Save My College Acceptance?
Question: I am a high school senior and I have been accepted to my first-choice college.

a quick qeustion to you all:

In the NU acceptance letter it says something like "you will be allowed to attend NU, provided that you maintain your grades".. or something like that.

Now, I have been absent from school for 12-13 days this year because of college interviews, so my grades have seriously suffered (I have straight Bs right now, and prolly like 2-3 As and 2-3 Bs by the end of the semester). Would that be considrered an "academic falteration" worth enough to keep me from entering NU?

thanks for your help!

Do schools rescind admission offer if you get a D in one class, 2nd semester Sr year?
Help! Do private colleges rescind offers of admission for one D on the report card? (never even had a C before!)

Cum GPA is 3.43 for 7 semesters. With one D, GPA could be 2.94 - 3.0 this last semester.

Some schools will rescind for a D, others won't. The overall GPA doesn't matter; the reason for the grade drop does.
