1 Bad Midterm Grade

<p>I applied to transfer to Rice as a rising sophomore. All of my college grades have been good and I currently have all As except for 1 C- on my midterm report. The C- is in an engineering class and is based on a test that is currently 70% of the grade and will almost certainly be dropped by the end of the course. How important is the midterm report? Is there anything I can do?????</p>

<p>Rice states they need a transcript showing courses in progress--does this mean a midterm report or do I not even have to send one? How else would I send a transcript of this type? Would it show up on my first semester transcript?</p>

<p>It would probably be best to contact Rice specifically to find out what transcript they need. </p>

<p>How much longer do you have to drop the class? All the way until the end of the semester? </p>

<p>How is the rest of your application? I wouldn’t worry significantly about one bad grade, but possibly you will have the opportunity to explain or that you will be dropping it (or already have).</p>

<p>No, I will likely get an A in the class. It was one bad test that the average was in the D range and the test will be dropped. I will not be dropping the class by any means and plan on getting an A.</p>

<p>You said that it (which I believed to be the class) will almost certainly be dropped by the end of the course… so I misunderstood :-). </p>

<p>Good luck :-)</p>

<p>No the test will most certainly be dropped</p>
