Recommended College Prep Courses
from actstudent.org
The GPA Myth "It doesn't matter which classes I take in high
school, as long as my grade point average is high.“
If you're playing the GPA game and taking a light schedule that isn't challenging, it will catch up with you at the college level very quickly. One of the things admissions officers pay attention to, besides GPA, is course selection throughout high school and especially senior year. They like to see students have momentum going into the freshman year (of college) . If you sit back your senior year, it's hard to recapture that momentum
from actstudent.org
“Taking Senior Year off” Colleges, especially selective universities, have been
known to withdraw offers of admission to students who drop college prep classes or begin earning uncharacteristically low grades.
If you haven't slumped too far, colleges might send you a warning letter and add certain stipulations to your admission, such as requiring a 2.0 grade point average during the first year of college.
If you are a senior and drop a college-prep class, you will need to complete the Consent to Drop a College-Prep Class form AND inform your college!!
Denied?! Stay on CP Path!
