Mid Year Report Good Enough?

Colleges & Universities Columbia University

<p>I received a likely letter from the engineering school before my school sent out the mid year report, so I was wondering if my grades are good enough to “ensure” acceptance?</p>

<p>Grades:
2 A (Engineering, AP-C Physics)
4 A- (APUSH, AP Econ, AP Spanish V, BC Calc)
1 B+ (AP English)</p>

<p>those are excellent grades. you’re fine.</p>

<p>Thank you for the reply.</p>

<p>Those grades look good. Is Columbia your first choice school?</p>

<p>He was already excepted early decision i believe.</p>

I really really like Columbia, but I will evaluate all my offers in April.

Not exactly haha. I applied for biomedical engineering RD, and I got a likely letter before my mid-year was sent, which is why I was wondering whether my grades were adequate.</p>

<p>Oh yeah i knew that too. I read that thread and I already forgot. Hehe.</p>

8

<p>so b’s are cool? </p>

<p>what about c’s?</p>

9

<p>C’s will probably raise a red flag.</p>

10

<p>i mean, i didn’t get a c, but what if you get a c in the final report?</p>

11

<p>C’s in extremely hard AP’s are probably okay. D’s however, dun-dun-dunnn.</p>

12

<p>so 1 D would be an automatic disqualification?</p>

13

<p>You’d probably get rescinded with a D, if you were accepted by that point</p>

<p>such speculation is really just talking out of your butt. it’ll depend on the circumstances. If you decide to blow off a little school so you can go on a translatlantic trip with your dad, and get a D, or you take a job this semester and your grades go down because you wanted money for when you’re in college, I think Columbia won’t be nearly as mad as if you get a D because you start smoking pot every day before school starts.</p>

<p>As the massive CC thread on rescinding offers made clear, almost nobody has actually had an offer rescinded or even personally knows someone who did.</p>

<p>If attending Columbia means anything to you, don’t f around. There, it’s really quite simple. If you’d like to risk your acceptance by getting a D or a C (not saying that you will get your decision rescinded), you’ll just have to deal with the consequences. </p>

<p>The good news is that if you do get a D and they rescind the admission decision, you’ll have the rest of your life to kick your own ass.</p>
