waitingforivy … T26E4 is thinking like me in response to your question, which suggests that you may need to consider a gap year or make sure you’re considering schools a notch down from the ivies. Students that are ready for college and especially highly selective colleges wouldn’t seriously consider slacking off to B’s after getting A’s their whole lives. The problem with even attempting that is how do you slack off to all B’s without getting some C’s, especially in rigorous classes that contain the most competitive students? For many high performing seniors, that last semester is tough, but it is also when they set the tone for how they will do in college and the attitudes they will have in college. Sleep in tomorrow, get some rest, and then go look at your question from the perspective of 1000’s of other kids ‘waiting to get into ivies’ and ask yourself what they are doing 2nd semester.
