Typically, I've been an A student my entire life. I just got 4 C's, 1st semester senior year, for final grades in my AP classes.
When I realized I screwed up big time, I didn't really care. I knew I was getting burned, but I just didn't care.
I stopped going after girls cause I just don't care. I stopped studying and turning in my homework cause I don't care. I stopped playing all my video games cause I just don't care. The only thing I do all day is sleep, eat, and shit. That's it (oh and facebook + TL.net).
The first thought that hit me is, "will colleges deny me from going to their school?" I know for a fact that privates care about senior grades. I'm not so sure about the UC system though...can anyone help me with this?
The second thought that hit me is, "how the hell am I gonna cure my senioritis?" I don't know what motivates me anymore, cause I just want this year to be over. How did you guys get over senioritis?
Oh and as a closing note, my dad is probably gonna rip my head off for my grades (he's azn).

as long as you have a 2400 sat score and 4.5 gpa u should be fine bro... senioritis doesn't go away!!! ever....

Well, if your dad's asskicking doesn't remotivate you, then almost failing out your first semester of freshman year will knock you into gear. if that doesn't work, you're screwed honestly.

I got a 0% my last grading period in physics my senior year of high school. I went on and graduated college and got a job. Embrace the senoritis ...

Senior grades do still matter. It is even possible for a UC to void your admission after accepting you already. This usually only happens if you bombed your grades big time. I highly recommend you pick it up for your second semester, so that this does not happen to you.
You may be feeling tired and apathetic at this time, but consider the fact that a little time and effort now can save you an incredible amount of pain in the future.

Kept up grades for semester.
Now I'm just playing BW all the time.

The UC system doesn't consider your first semester senior grades when making your admissions decision, but if they admit you, you need to maintain a 3.0 gpa; otherwise, you can have your admission rescinded. I'm pretty sure a couple of the UCs say 3.0 weighted, but for Cal, it was unweighted so it's not going to be the same for all UCs. Depending on which schools you are looking at, a quick google search should bring it up.

I think senioritis happens just because you get so sick of being in high school, and you want to finally experience new things. Once you actually get to college, you'll probably be back on top of things because it's not "I just want to get out of here" but more like "I just got here and don't want to mess things up from the start". Just remember to manage your time and not go too crazy partying and you'll be fine

From what i heard if you get an D or lower at all you're screwed and they will deny your admission. That's what happened to my friend's SDSU application and heard stories that they do care about your final semester's grades and stuff at UC schools too and have denied people.

AP class grades do not matter much, its getting a 4/5 on the exams.
I fucked off grade 9/10 but started working really hard in 11/12 but overall I was only able to bring my average high school GPA to like 3.2
I had gotten a 5 on AP Chemistry/Biology and a 4 on AP Physics though, and was immediately accepted into a University.
It just depends on how expensive of a uni you want to go to...

I'm in the same position sigh well as long as you dont get a d or lower within the uc system you should be fine. Some colleges do look at your senior year but people are chosen randomly so hope you're not one of around 1000 or so haha now me on the other hand sighh sucks being asian huh?

hey guys, how do I create blogs on here?

It's just a little bonus that can get you out of college classes if you do well on them. Also, AP exams are in May, which is already way after you've already been accepted to any colleges, unless you're taking them as a Junior. But again, I don't think they care what you got on the exam.

Are you sure you have senioritis and not CLINICAL DEPRESSION?
Not caring about girls? WTF that's not senioritis, that's something else.

I don't bother chasing them as in gf status because for 1. I rarely get out of the house 2. I don't have a car 3. I don't live in town so I need a ride to get to anyone else's house. 4. My parents don't let me stay after school to hang out 5. There's only about 1200 kids at my school, which means about 600 girls, about 300 of em are trashy/butt ugly, another 150 are taken, and the last 150 i don't have a chance with anyways. Best wait til college where I live close to everyone, where i probably will have a car, and where there will be a lot more girls than just 150 to choose from.

Yea. That's how bad my senioritis has degraded to -_-. I don't even play games anymore..

I know a cure, tell your dad school isn't for you and you're getting a job at a mcdonalds.

I have senioritis too and I am almost in the same situation as you. I have 3 Cs i think and currently have like a 3.2 GPA for my senior year. I'm not studying or doing any homework or projects that are due for my classes. I should be doing an essay right now but o well. It's reassuring to know that my college freshmen friends did worst. I think once I get to college, I'll go back to my old habits.
Get a girl, hang out with friends. Senior year has been going pretty fast for me
