Mid-Year Grades and Senioritis

Applying to College
1

<p>I had a quick question about mid-year grades and what colleges consider to be a “considerable slip” (enough that they’d consider rescinding an application). I’ve applied early decision and had to send in my 9-weeks grades (I’m taking AP Euro, AP Calc AB and AP English Lit + Physics and Spanish 5). I had all A+'s except for an A in AP Euro. </p>

<p>If my mid-year report has all A’s instead of A+'s (or even an A- or two in a subject) would that be enough to make colleges question my validity as an admit?</p>

<p>I apologize if this is way too over-analyzing of a question…I’m not asking “how far can I slip” but rather “how much should I freak out over missing one point on a ten point quiz.” </p>

<p>What if I have a B? Still acceptable?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Chill out. That is not even close to being a considerable slip for purposes of your question. If you start getting straight Cs, or failing classes, that’s a considerable slip.</p>

<p>if you have merit money and you have a major slip that no longer makes you eligible your scholarship will be lost.</p>
