<p>Pink – Sorry you were offended by my conclusion but two of your posts from this thread certainly would lead a reader to conclude senioritis. Then also you mentioned your own senioritis manifesting all they way back in December.</p>
<p>In your initial post, you imply that you thought that anything over a C was OK as well as use the term senioritis:
“I got a warning letter (email, actually) just for a B- in AP Calculus! I was a little surprised… I knew that a C is cause for some worry, but I thought that once you got in the “B” range you’d be okay. …………………</p>
<p>Just throwing this out there for everyone… don’t let senioritis kick in, don’t let your grades fall, and DON’T listen to the people who say that Yale only cares about D’s and F’s, because they care about a whole lot more than that for their admitted students!”</p>
<p>In your third post, you talk about senior grade slippage as being common (implying OK) and you basically state that “I … let myself fall behind in class. The class took a backseat….”:
“I feel compelled to remind this person that it’s pretty common for seniors to let their grades slip a little after being accepted, and that adcoms completely understand that… Not that it’s an excuse, but I think that if I still was trying to get into Yale, I wouldn’t have let myself fall behind at all in class. It’s just that the class took a back seat in my stress during application season and then my excitement over Yale.”</p>
<p>Your post on 12/22 mentions your “senioritis”:
“I’m experiencing most of these symptoms of P.A.S (senioritis, etc) as well as something else that’s a little funny…….”</p>

<p>Also, a reason for why Yale may be calling you about a B- is that you have stated that you are a Questbridge Match which means that they are giving you a full boat w/ no loans etc for a 4 year degree from Yale. That is a lot of money they have invested in you.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you are a Questbridge match, why were you discussing your Yale “likely letter” in January. If you are a Questbrdge match and accepted in December, why would you be discussing a likely letter in January.</p>
