These are my projected 2nd semester grades.
All classes are either AP or IB.

History: A
Calculus BC: B-
English: B-
Spanish: B-
Biology: A
Physics: C+

Is there any chance these grades would cause me to get rescinded? I'm trying really hard to pull my physics grade up to a B but I am not sure if I can.

Also, I was accepted off the waitlist. Do you think Duke would be a little more harsh in evaluating 2nd semester grades for those admitted off the waitlist since they were more borderline students?

I am really getting scared.

I hear the "reevaluation" thing is more an empty threat than anything, so unless your grades are all straight C's with the highest grade being a B- or something, you should be okay.

On a related note, a friend of mine recently found out that she got a C in AP Computer Science AB for this semester, even though she got an A last semester. She got a low grade last quarter and failed the incredibly hard final. She said her yearly grade turned out to be a B because of this.

She's still top 5 in our class because the rest of her grades are phenomenal, but is kinda worried about being rescinded from Duke. I keep telling her she shouldn't sweat it. Should she?

TAdd - DEFINITELY not. A B is fine.

imathriver - I don't think you'll have any problems...A lot of people seem to have this sort of issue with Cs and C+s and stuff, but they're not all going to get rescinded. Don't sweat it.
