"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



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 CollegePrep Class form AND inform your college!!
