| How high should board exam grades (CBSE - India) be so admission is not revoked?
I've been accepted to the University of Michigan, but I know that if a student doesn't maintain his/her grades throughout the year, admission can be revoked. My question is: how high should my 12th grade board exam grades be (I certainly don't want admission to be revoked!) and how closely will they look at those grades?

Keep it above 75% if you can, that should be safe for UMich.

^ 60 above is considered an 'A' for the CBSE at American Colleges. My cousin got around 53% overall and still made it UCLA without any problems.

thats truw- univ's can't care less about CBSE marks- but don't let it go to your head- only 2 more left to go- so manage a 80 and keep everyone happy.

Anything above 70% is safe.

Can we consider worst case scenarios here? My boards were spectacular. Phys and math maybe 70s and phy might even dip to 60s...

You would be safe enough for the admissions. Scholarships, I don't know...I hope they remain the same.
These marks would play a role in Masters ( A small role..though)

The transcripts asked during undergrad admissions= The marks you got in the school leaving exams and any other intermediate( which for us is the same) during masters admissions.

I went through the Masters application of MIT. Besides, many people going for Masters echoed the same thing.
