At this point, I’m already accepted at
Oberlin con. I suspect that my grades were of minimal importance in the larger scheme of my acceptance- I’m a composer, instrumentalist, and producer, and have a pretty big list of accomplishments, performances, and recordings. I doubt that a decrease in my already-crappy GPA would result in a retraction of my acceptance at Oberlin, but to be safe, I plan on keeping my GPA stable at it’s current state.

I’ve been waiting until all of my college interviews were over to get this done. However, my parents are not entirely supportive of the idea, so i’d either have to just do it and tell them to suck it up, or suck up to them…
