How to stop sleeping in class? |
Also nicknamed a "senior slump," senioritis is when students get a bad case of slacking off at the end of senior year of high school. While it can be tempting to stop caring about schoolwork and start focusing more on fun activities like prom and parties, letting final grades slide can have serious consequences. That college acceptance isn't the ticket to check out of your last few weeks of high school," said Dr. Kat Cohen, CEO and founder of Ivywise, a New York-based college consulting firm. "Although it's rare, there have been incidences of colleges rescinding acceptances from students who received very low grades at the end of the year." According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, 22 percent of colleges revoked an admissions offer in 2009, the most recent year that the group collected data of this sort. Final grades were responsible for the majority of the revocations — 65.3 percent — followed by disciplinary information learned about a student and falsified applications.
