[quote=Anonymous]Unlikely to get rescinded with Bs and Cs. However, student may get a email/phone call from the school to ask what is going on and a warning about being ready for the rigor of college. More of a scare tactic but it does happen and they do expect an explanation - some will threaten the student with starting on "probation". Also, and this is really important: A kid that chooses to slack off (not like they got overwhelmed and it just happened but one that deliberately chooses not to work as hard) is likely not going to be able to easily pick back up once they do arrive at college (and there are a lot more distractions on campus than living at home) and will likely struggle to manage time and expectations in their freshman year. It's a slippery slope and not the choice of an intentional mature student who would succeed at a highly selective elite institution amongst a class of high achievers.[/quote]
