If schools waitlisted you after they interviewed you....do they look at your fall and spring grades to determine your alternate list acceptance? The reason why i asked is because I'm kindda slacking off a bit.
 
I think everyone slacks off a bit after they apply...everyone feels like they've "arrived" kinda thing. I wouldn't let it get too bad though because even if they aren't looking at your latest grades to determine your fate, getting lousy grades might force them too look...plus we've all heard those stories of people who get in Dec 1st...fail some classes in the spring and get uninvited.
 
I've never heard that..can you tell me more about it. So they are accepted and fail their class...is that how the story goes

Yes, only I've left out the part about the grandma, the big bad wolf, and there was something about a cow jumping over the moon, but thats the jist of it.
 
I personally know of a student who was accepted, then decided to take Kayaking and Mountain Biking instead of Histology and Embryology. His D school told him to take the classes he said he was going to take or he wouldn't be accepted.

So take the classes you say you will and pass.🙂
 
I have heard Pacific recruiters say that in the semesters before matriculation your grades had to be B's or above or they would make you stay in undergrad another year before matriculating.
 
yeah...but what if you're waitlisted and you're next in line...but then they look at your grades for this year ....do they say ..tsk tsk tsk tsk....then go on to the next person in line?
considering your grades are mostly Bs
