Survival, Second Semester, Senior Year
|
Every year, there are seniors who seem to feel second semester “doesn’t matter.” That is a seriously flawed assumption! Even if just a few go that route, it discredits the wholesenior class.
Seniors with E.D. acceptances mustsend final, senior grades to the school which each will attend. All other seniors need not make a final commitment until late April when all decisions are here. Final grades will go to the school to which each senior will commit.
Failure to maintain your grades may result in : |
- Having the acceptance retracted or
- Starting on probation or
- Corresponding during the summer explaining how/why your grades dropped.
- If you end up in a mess due to poor final grades, no one can “fix it” for you!
To avoid the above consequences : |
- Attend school on a regular basis
- Stay enthusiastic about your courses
- Do not slack off 3rd quarter and then try to regroup 4th quarter
- Do not project indifference to your teachers especially those who wrote your recs. Recommendations can be retracted.
- Once the decisions are here, do not miss the deadline to make a deposit and commitment to only one school.
- Wait List seniors still must commit to another school by May 1 even if you request to remain on a Wait List. Decisions on Wait Lists usually arrive before graduation.
