“What It Really Takes to Get Into Ivy League and Other Highly Selective Colleges” by Chuck Hughes did give an example about an applicant who got into Harvard ED, and got his first C ever on his midyear transcript. The writer (as he wrote he’s an adcom) wrote that Harvard Adcom called the school, and the school said that the teacher was notorious for not giving anyone more than B. So, the applicant wasn’t rejected after being admitted ED.
