NO SENIOR-ITIS !!!!!!

It's your senior year and you may be thinking, "I'm outta here!" But if you plan on going to college, here's why you should stay focused:

• Colleges accept students contingent upon "successful completion of the senior year."
  Admissions personnel watch for dramatic grade drops on midyear reports and final transcripts.
• Should your grades reflect a steep decline, the school may request a written explanation describing the reasons for the poor performance.
• Occasionally, a college may require a student to attend summer school or be placed on academic probation for the first semester of the freshman year.
• In rare instances, a selective college may actually revoke a student's acceptance if his/her grades drop in the final semester.
