Admitted High School Seniors

Admitted High School Seniors April 19, 2012 Students admitted to college need to keep up their grades or risk their admissions decisions being rescinded. If youre a student who recently received an acceptance letter or many acceptance letters to the college or colleges of your dreams, be sure not to start slacking off. Whys that? Because the very same college that may have once offered you a spot in their incoming freshman class may now choose to rescind their offer should your grades slip or should you get yourself into trouble. About two-thirds of rescinded decisions are the result of slipping grades. Does that mean that if you get your first B, youll lose your offer of admission? No. That would be extremely unlikely. What if you get an F or a couple of Ds? In that case, yes, your offer of admission is certainly now in jeopardy. Why would you put yourself in this position? If you were able to maintain great grades for so many years, why couldnt you do it for just a few more months? Is it really worth it to risk it all? And whats the other one-third of rescinded admissions decisions? Disciplinary actions. That could mean acting out at school, getting suspended, getting arrested, or even participating in senior pranks. Just because you got into college doesnt mean you can become this whole new person who doesnt have any regard for the rules and regulations of your school and society. Such disregard for the rules (or laws) can very well jeopardize your offer of admission. So stay out of trouble. Admitted high school seniors need to behave and keep their grades up or risk losing so much of what theyve ever worked for. Check out our newsletter on Senioritis.
