<p>Yes, I know AP Calc and AP Physics are hard- I’ve been there, I know (although, I don’t see a reason for getting a C in either one of those courses). And, strategically, it would make sense to take an easier load your second semester if your school is on a semester system. You’re right. I’m not arguing in favor of the policy of the Ivy League with regard to rescinding, I’m just saying be careful so that you don’t risk having all of your hard work go to waste.</p>
