Senior Grades Are Important for College Admissions

Some students believe that once they have been accepted to college, they can relax and not worry about their grades anymore. This couldn't be further from the truth. Most colleges request both first and second semester grades. They also expect students to take all of the courses they have listed on their college applications. Colleges are sending a message that they have no problem turning down an applicant in June who has slacked off his second semester. They always have a waitlist with students who have worked hard until graduation.

Five Reasons for Not Choosing a College

4. It's the only school you have visited

5. Your mom and dad are alumni
