Senior Year Grades Matter
Keep working hard in your classes and do not drop your core classes. The college expects you to complete courses listed on your application with Cs or better. If it is absolutely necessary that you change your schedule, it is your responsibility to notify each college admissions office and explain your decision to drop.
