Just received an academic warning letter

Brown is reconsidering my offer given the drop in my grades. It’s already pretty late in the year and orientation starts in just a few weeks. I’ve already been assigned a roommate and paid my tuition. How likely am I gonna rescinded, or that I could be forced to take a gap year or placed on academic probation?

Offer under consideration

Got an email from admissions saying there’s been serious decline in my grades and they need an explanation. My grades include one C and two Bs, but they contain attendance and my grades dropped solely due to missing many classes. Should I make them aware of this? I don’t know how to proceed and am scared I am going to be rescinded. I’m terrified.

Note: I’ve had several things happen at once, including a dry eye issue, family health concerns, and a knee injury.

17F 17M scared to part with a guy I never really connected with

So this guy asked me out on the last day of high school, and we went on a few dates after that. He's been proactive and caring and loves and cares about me (seemingly). The thing is, I never actually felt a connection with him. I think I was just so starved for social connection and love that I couldn't bring myself to say no. I latched onto the fact that someone cared about me that much, even though something was missing on my end.

Now we're doing long distance , and I dread every single phone call. I don't know how I let it get this far.

I think I need to break up with him, but I'm terrified of hurting him since he's put in so much effort and cares.

TLDR A few questions:

  1. Is breaking up the right call here, or am I overreacting?
  2. How do I actually go about ending things without being cruel?
  3. Any advice for someone who struggles to say no because they're scared of losing the only person who's shown them attention?

Any perspective helps, thanks.

is there a way to get rid of the duo authentication thing?

it's annoying and I was wondering if there was an alternative to touch ID as sometimes it doesn't work. or even better if there is a way to get rid of it altogether.

Why do guys always ask me if I've gotten together with anyone on dates?

I'm fairly new into relationships. I'm an anxious person and am relatively scared about committing to a relationship. I've been on a few dates (having been asked out by the other party) and all the men have always asked me whether I've dated in the past year of if I've gotten together with anyone. Are they trying to figure out whether I'm in a relationship? It just always struck me as weird and caught me off guard.

How possible is it to major in comp sci with minimal math and coding background?

Vague question, but I've always been super interested in comp sci but have never actually taken the first step. I'm thinking of pursuing this trajectory at Brown; It's a leap of faith and I'm wondering how big of a challenge this will be.

High school grade drop

Incoming freshman at Brown. My actual academic grades haven’t dropped, but my class grade (consisting of mostly attendance and participation and work habits) have dropped to two Bs and a C. How concerning is this? Do they factor in class grades as well or are they solely concerned with academic grades? I’m really scared.

Ib rescinded

I’m in an income freshman at one of the ivy leagues. My current predicted IB score is 45. I’m wondering how many points do I have to drop for me to be rescinded?

I was told no more than 3. However, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make that.
