I would recommend sacking up and trying to get the best grades you can. You may appreciate it later. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32008878) |

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:31 PM Author: Sticky floppy public bath Right, but I'm more interested in whether my summer firm will 'rescind' or no offer for grades. I'm 100% sure I won't fail anything. Probably will be a mix of Bs/B+s on 3.3 curve. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32008938) |

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:42 PM Author: racy new version You can do nothing the whole semester and work really hard a week before finals and during finals week to get mostly A- with scattered grades above and below. Seems worthwhile to go hard two weeks for decent grades rather than do nothing and be median or below. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32009010) |

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:45 PM Author: Sticky floppy public bath That's my plan as well. 2L curve should be more forgiving too (although I made the grave mistake of choosing classes full of the most insufferable gunners in town). Just wanted to gauge the effect of my potential shit grades on my summer offer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32009035) |

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:48 PM Author: racy new version Yeah that was a big fuckup, you should have dropped those classes. CR lineup post-1l is like two uncurved seminars with names that don't make them seem like total bullshit and two "real" classes that don't attract gunners.

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:41 PM Author: Sticky floppy public bath Agreed, but that ship has sailed right after I got my 1L fall grades, brother. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32009000) |

Date: November 28th, 2016 2:43 PM Author: Sticky floppy public bath Nope. In fact, slightly below median right now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3443090&forum_id=2#32009022) |
