Grades after transcripts have been sent in?

If you get in, I'd say B- and up is fine. But, if you don't, then you're at risk for having to reapply, and you don't wanna screw up after that. I'd wait until I got my first acceptance before letting those grades slip.

 

Well, since you don't really know if you are going to get in or not, I'd say keeping those grades up is very important.

Once you have an acceptance in hand, then just aim for B's and C's (although I'd hesitate to get too many C's just in case).

 

I would def. keep up my grades first semester of your senior year because if you get waitlisted and you want to send in updates having bad grades isn't going to make the adcom want to accept you. As for second semester I would try to have A's and B's but you can make that decision when you know your status. Hope this helps and good luck!!!!
