The following is from the ACT bulletin this month and is essential reading for all seniors.
No time to slack, seniors
Once you have a college offer in hand, you may get the urge to coast through the rest of the school year, or maybe you've already decided to slack off. It's your senior year and you deserve it, right?
Before you give in to “the easy life,” you should know that your future college may be watching you.
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've slumped, but not too far, colleges might send you a warning letter and add certain stipulations to your admission, such as requiring a certain grade point average during the first year of college.
Taking an extended breather during your senior year can make your freshman year in college difficult. Sohave fun your senior year, but don't give up on your college preparation. Study hard!
