acceptance reconsidered

<p>how low your grades should be in order to be reconsidered?
is having 2 Cs in AP classes okay?</p>

<p>I assume you got in early admissions. The only person I have ever known that got a "warning" letter was in the class above mine and got F's in 2 of his classes and a D in another. That was from UVa - they told him to get all passing grades by the next 9 weeks or he might not be allowed to enroll.</p>

<p>I think you're fine, don't sweat about it - but also don't stop caring about your grades even though you're admitted to college - you want those AP credits!</p>

<p>2 Cs are fine... but I agree with Here<em>to</em>Help. AP credits are a HUGE help once you're in college. AP science classes are especially useful (especially if you don't like science classes), because that way you get out of the lab GER. And science labs in college suck... a lot. Getting the AP credit actually saves you from a much larger hassle later on in college, which is what a lot of people (including me) don't realize until later.</p>

<p>the C's are fine.</p>

<p>Yeah, a science credit coming in is a huge help. I didn't have one, and now I'll be spending my Friday afternoons doing a lab, yes! [/sarcasm]</p>

<p>wait.
I hate science but I don't have any science credit.
Do we have to take science classes even though we're not planning to major in it?
Like, if you are an English major do you still have to take science?</p>

<p>Yeah, there's a natural and some other science requirement, one of them with a lab. I'm doing environmental policy too, so I need more science I think.</p>

<p>Yes, those are part of the GERs. Everyone has to take one physical science, one natural science, and then a lab in either a physical science or natural science.</p>

<p>wow...
i should have taken at least one AP science class.............</p>

<p>Don't worry about it. There are a lot of ridiculously easy classes for the science and math GERs. Things like "Great Ideas in Physics" or "Mathematics of Powered Flight."</p>

<p>what about
B+ B B+ B+ in regular classes and C+ C+ and a D+ in ap classes?</p>

<p>Maybe you should focus more on your classes than on what you can get by with and not get kicked out.</p>

<p>if you are only taking 3 APs you should consider yourself fairly lucky to be accepted... and keep your grades up.</p>

<p>I've only ever taken 2 and I got accepted...</p>

<p>2 B-'s in those APs as well. I've been worried about them dropping recently. Don't want to get a surprise letter in the mail from W&M.</p>

<p>no no nonono
I'm not trying to figure out what I can get by with. never.
Those are my actual grades now, and the semester ends next week.</p>

<p>Do they just warn you at first?
I'm asking because I'm like freaking out.
there's this one class that I can never understand so there is a D+..or maybe a D.......
should I do that Pass/Fail marking system for that class?</p>

<p>those are you semester grades? or quarter grades, that will be averaged with first quarter to make semester grades?</p>

<p>if those are your semester grades, you are cutting it very very close, IMO. I have no idea about changing anything to pass/fail, if it is even a class that you could do that for?</p>

<p>I didn't mean to come of harsh, if that is what your school offers, but you have to know that that is fewer APs than the vast majority of the freshman class, and if you get bad grades in the only "hard" classes on your transcript... it's not good.</p>
