<p>how low can the grades of an athlete with an ivy likely letter go for midyear report? Ever hear of athlete having likely letter rescinded for slip in grades?</p>
<p>someone please answer. Worried that my life is about to be ruined because of a few hard APs. I only applied to the school that gave me the likely letter.Never imagined that this would be a problem. Will any good schools accept me after the deadline to apply?</p>
<p>Your coach will hear from the admissions office. They will likely warn you to improve or your admissions can be rescinded. It would have to be a pretty spectacular fall for them to rescind admissions.</p>
<p>Thanks Sleph. I’ve gone from all
As to 2 C+s in APs. Would that qualify as a “spectacular fall”?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that admissions departments know that kids who rely on likely letters are forgoing other application options and, as such, they are extremely unlikely to be rescinded.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be OK. Good luck.</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
<p>Sherpa is correct.
I am an Ivy athlete and certainly wouldn’t advice to drop to C+'s but that should not hurt you too much. Just keep a 3.0 and don’t drop in your core classes, math, science, etc… and you should be okay. As long as you have a letter of likelihood, aim for a B average and you should be safe, as one who went through it before.</p>
