Worried about rescinding

Since Rutgers hasn’t seen any of your senior grades yet, I’m thinking you should be okay. They will see your final transcript when it’s all said and done, so they’ll see the progression of your senior year grades by marking period.

They warn that your acceptance may be rescinded if you have “significant decline in grades.” Now you’re probably trying to figure out what they mean by “significant decline” and I’m thinking the same thing.

However, based on the rarity of people having their acceptance rescinded, I think if you just tough it out for this last marking period and “sprint to the finish line” that you’ll be fine. Stop slacking for these last few months of school and you should be okay.

But, don’t hold me accountable in the unfortunate event that your application is rescinded. The fact that you’re even worried about this should mean that you’re going to bring your grades back up as much as possible. Just make sure not to worry either too much or too little, because both extremes are bad. Keep it in the back of your mind and again, try not to worry too much.

Good luck.
