<p>I am currently failing my english class (both quarters). I had a conference earlier with my teacher and she said I should drop down a level, but I would be in the same class (the class is College Prep and Honors combined, with Honors doing more work). Should I drop a level and have my grade go up? Should I just drop the class and double up on english classes for next semester? I currently take 1 AP, 1 IB, and 1 other Honors class, next semester I will be taking 2 APs, 1 IB, and 1 other honors. I'm scared because I think that my Acceptance will be rescinded do to getting a D if I survive all of this. How would the Admission view this when I notify them my level change?</p>
<p>Dropping down a level and passing is far superior to staying where you are and failing. Take your chance with that option, the other is fatal.</p>
<p>I would drop the level. Maintaining good grades are very important because colleges will see your senior grades and if they see that you are failing, they can take back their acceptance. </p>
<p>Drop down a level.
Also, you do not need to contact admissions due to the change in your class level. Most colleges only use or look at your grades from 9-11th. They take a look at your senior year classes. Some request 1semester grades, but most dont at all. What they want is for you to graduate.</p>

<p>They will want your final transcript showing your 12th grade courses and grades. If the grades are poor, or the 12th grade courses are significantly less rigorous than initially reported on the application, then the admission may be rescinded. Of course, each school may have a different threshold as to how poor the grades can be or how much change in the course load can be done before rescinding admission (there may be fine print in the offer about that).</p>
UPDATE: I graduated HS in 2015 with a total of 4 Ds and didn’t get rescinded… Everything always works out guys
That is great news! But I would recommend others to avoid such a situation if at all possible. Many schools WILL rescind for 4 Ds.
