@sushiritto @goodperson200. This is what I am trying to tell her. Hundreds of thousands of students are going through the same thing and need to unwind. Do that. Have some fun. My kids, once accepted, used the remainder of their high school time getting ready for college. That included continuing getting good grades and trying. My son talked just like you but after a weekend of letting loose he was back attacking his homework etc. It’s just who he is. It’s also who Michigan and other top schools want. Too many kids start doing really badly once they go to a top school. I keep telling him… This is what you wanted. Gone are the easy “A’s” without studying. Gone is the “A” avg (especially in engineering /computer science). He gets a 65 on a test and that’s considered a good grade. He just laughs at that… Math, science and computer science classes are really tough at Michigan. He took C++/python last year and one problem took 11hours between two people too solve and they were the first in their section to get the correct answer… He is going for industrial and coding is not his thing. He finished high school at multivariate Calc in the top school in our state and still found Calc 1-3 hard at Michigan. Same for physics.
So… Most kids drop a full grade point in first /second semester or the first year. In engineering it was stated they go from a 3.93 avg to a 3.0-3.3 for the rest of their 4" years at Michigan. Michigan stated a b there is like an A anywhere else. That’s their attitude.
