  14. During early summer a committee in our office will review students’ final transcripts to ensure students have performed to the academic level expected of them. Every year, there are students who leave our office no reasonable choice but to revoke their offers of admission due to poor performance in their senior year courses. This is a process which our staff does not enjoy, but is part of the offer of admission extended to students. Michigan State University Why Students Should Avoid Senioritis

  15. A student's senior schedule plays an important role in the evaluation of their application for admission. If a student is considering dropping or adding a class, please make sure that they're aware of the effect this may have on their application. Taking four or five core classes during the senior year is strongly encouraged in order for applicants to remain competitive for admission. Dropping core courses is not encouraged. We will always have the student call the admissions office before making schedule change. SCHEDULE CHANGES SENIOR YEAR
