Got into NYU today but......(please help)?

so right now im extremely happy cuz i just got the acceptance package to Nyu. When i applied i had a 3.7 uw flat. Right now im tryin hard in my senior year but struggling harshly in AP calc. I stay after skool pretty much every single to ask help w/ hw and i also get tutored 2 times a week. and yet i have a C in that class. I got all As and 2 b+ in the other classes. Will this make NYU think about my acceptance once more? What should i do

Got into NYU today but......(please help)?
Congratulations first off...A friend of mine applied to NYU, but he refuses to "admit" that he finds out if he got in today or not





You did early action or early decision....correct? That means that you have to go...no matter what. You signed the papers, and if you dont go, then you shall get a HUGE fine for not going.





NYU would not consider turning you away because of a C in an AP class, especially a math. However, say you got straight C's, you dropped all of your AP classes, and you only took like 3 classes as a Senior, then they would probably reject you.





If the C is stressing you out...relax.





Once again, congratulations.
Reply:Generally, unless all of your grades slip after being accepted, colleges will be fine with that. They just don't want to see that you're slacking off. You'll be fine, I think.
Reply:I don't think you have anything to worry about. Schools don't really have a reason to worry unless you're obviously slacking, or doing things that would look badly on them if they accepted you (ie-being arrested or driving drunk or something).





If you're really not sure how they'll see your slight dip in grades (which is pretty normal for senior year, especially after being admitted), I would talk to your guidance counselor and see if they think its a good idea to let the school know how you're doing.





Congratulations, and good luck with the rest of your senior year!
Reply:Technically, they do have the power to revoke your admission if your grades fall below their expectations/go a lot lower than what they were when you were admitted. What they often do (or at least what my college did) is send you a letter asking you to explain why your grade(s) dropped. If you have a good reason (or can come up with a good one), then you're fine. Just respond promptly and well to their inquiry and you should be okay.


Congrats, by the way!
