Ok but you have to realize then that it might not be believed. You can’t ask your mom’s dr for a note as it sounds like she wouldn’t authorize.
In the end, if you want the best possible impact, it should come from a trusted source. In this case, that’s not you - because the school knows anyone in your position of warning can say this. So you need a validation.
I don’t think Bs are trouble. But I do think mom is most important. So if you were rescinded - it’s their loss. You are standing by mom. What’s more important than that ?
What? You started the post by saying your grades are looking like they will end like last semester’s.
And you know this how? And if you’re doing well, and they have no idea about this family trauma, you are assuming there is nothing that can be done should you experience a decline. There is no benefit to you not sharing this information with your counselor at the very least.
I am a little concerned about all the reasons you give about why you can’t tell anyone about a very serious issue that is completely affecting your life. How would your mother feel if you were rescinded?
Your guidance counselor wants to act in your best interest.
I am so very sorry you are going through this. I really hope your mother (and you) are getting the care and support you need and continue to do so.
You are getting some good advice, and glad you are meeting with your counselor already. I think if they can call (they can call the general office and ask for an extension if needed) and explain the situation, and maybe you can send a note too, it will all be well. I have never heard of an offer being rescinded for Bs (especially in obviously hard classes?), and not even for a Cs personally (unless, like many Cs, and maybe dropped classes too or something). It is usually extreme things. Rescinding is rare; they picked you out of MANY applicants for a reason. Nobody has a crystal ball of course, but I don’t think 2 Bs is”real significance” in most people’s books.
Hugs from afar and a stranger. Wishing you all well and I hope you can eek a touch of joy out of your senior spring. You clearly have worked very hard.
OP - you will be fine. Harvard will not rescind your admission for getting two B’s. They already told you that their concern was a decline of real significance. You didn’t allow that to happen and it is OK that you don’t want to share your family’s confidential health situation with your counselor. Harvard clearly saw something in you and decided to admit. Your resolve in this situation is possibly a vindication of that.
