<p>Every single day seems more and more pointless…I feel like if a college has already excepted me, why do they care that I get this stupid piece of paper called a diploma? I mean, they know I’m smart so why can’t I just enroll now? I don’t know, I just tired of waking up at 6AM and having to go to classes at 8AM in the morning. Damn I’m just tired.</p>
<p>OOPSY!</p>
<p>“I’m just tired” is what that should say.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because every admission is based on your successful completion of high school usually at the same standard of performance which they have accepted you. while making a little slide won’t kill you a major slide will cause the college to rescind your admission. If you should choose a school that merit aid is part of your package or if you were admitted in to an honors program, a slip in grades can make you lose those also. </p>
<p>Last year Dartmouth had over 1200 people on the wait list with over 700 choosing to accept a spot on it. If you should feel that you don’t want to take care of business, they will find someone who does.</p>
<p>1200/700, that’s a big waiting room, lol</p>
<p>Well I know I’m going to keep my grades up, but I’m just saying is all!!!</p>
<p>on huge waitlists… they ARE ridiculous. i know that some schools have waitlists that are frickin’ twice its class size, and some even more… that’s why when i started my college process i vowed not to pursue waitlists (in addition to the probability of getting crappy aid and the fact that i will have wasted >$500 in college deposit elsewhere). but yeah, i’m in trouble with slipping grades, too, but it’s not really b/c of senioritis. i’m just sorta putting schoolwork second and scholarships first. the 'rents aren’t planning on paying for my college, so i have to try to lessen the amt. of extra loans i have to take out as much as possible… gotta love mis padres.</p>
<p>What constitutes a major slide?</p>
<p>Yeah, what does constitute a major slide?</p>
<p>Say my GPA is 4.1 </p>
<p>and my second semester GPA for this year was like, oh say 3.3</p>
<p>Would that constitute a major slide?</p>
<p>How many people did Dartmouth eventually take off the waitlist last year?</p>
<p>Calidan, you won’t have to worry about that because I know that Dartmouth will have at least one spot for you among the 1,103 spots available!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>4.1 to 3.3 def isn’t the worst senioritis I have heard of, but it could be borderline. How many incoming Dartmouth freshmen had 3.3 semesters in high school, do you think?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Last year the yield was very close to what they expected it to be (in fact I think they got a few more than they wanted), so they took no one from the wait list.</p>
<p>Dartmouth took 24 off of the waitlist according to their common data set</p>
<p>hoooo boy i know what you mean about senioritis…we had a bio essay due today that i have yet to start. and this morning i didn’t have my math hw, and my math teacher, whom i REALLY like, was very disappointed, and said that I had better shape up because “god gave [me] this brain” and she expected no less than a 5 on the BC Calc exam.</p>
<p>guys…THERE IS NO WAY I’M GETTING A 5 lol. i feel awful! I want to do well but i know i won’t be able tooooo</p>
<p>for me, senioritis wasn’t a gradual thing - getting my likely flipped a switch in my brain, and I haven’t cared since.</p>
<p>Luckily, my teachers all expected us to stop working, so the work has gotten a lot easier - I’m actually getting better grades this semster than last!</p>
<p>haha it started kicking in the minute I was done sending out all the college apps. It’s only getting worse and worse as days go by haha… and yea…i think the likely letter “eased my mind” a bit too much…lol I can’t really concentrate on anything ever since I got the letter last week.</p>
<p>i’ll miss my high school T_T</p>
<p>Thanks, king. I hope you’re right! 
Maybe I’ll see you next year! I hope so.</p>
<p>I hope I see everyone from the Dartmouth CC board at dartmouth this fall. That would be really cool.</p>
<p>Totally agree with you, Calidan hope everybody gets in from the CC so we can meet up at Dimensions…that would extremely cool</p>
<p>i think i’m going to need to start distancing myself from CC, actually. this fixation i have on dartmouth can’t be healthy. and most of the threads are now for people who are in ED or have likelys anyway lol</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree blu. Maybe a CC Hiatus would be good for me…</p>
