Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

So, I was on the waitlist for my dream college buuuut I didn't think I was going to get in and I got a major case of senioritis and I stopped trying completely at school. Recently though, I got a call from said college and I got in! WOOOT! But now I'm worried that they'll take back my acceptance after seeing my 8th semester transcript full of everything from A's to D's. How common is it for a college to take back an acceptance because of poor senior performance? Schools always tell horror stories about it but friends of mine and some teachers tell me that its actually really rare so I dont know.

Yeah but if you dont keep your grades up to the quality that they expect them to be, the college has every right to take back your acceptance. Some colleges though, ignore 8th semester grades unless theyre like all FAILING because they know that seniors dont really give a shit.

You're in, but they can easily take that back if they feel you didn't do well enough in the last semester of high school (aka slackin' off).  That's why I was afraid UAlbany would reject me, because of how bad I was doing in AP Calculus.  But since my average is up to an 80 now, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think it'll only be a problem if you drop to a C/D grade average...

if the college gives the go signal that you are accepted, it automatically means that you can start registering for the first semester.. your 8th semester transcripts will be irrelevant because they will be expecting grades that you will get during your tenure as a student in that college.. so go for it and best of luck!

no... you still need to keep an above C average, they can RESCIND your decision.

DO NOT let the grade slide too much.

I feel senior year performance is an imprudent basis on which to judge talent and individual skill. People are under many stresses in school that dissapear when attending a post secondary education.
