Accepted to UCSD but spring quarter grades may affect my admission. What can I do?

<p>I attend a California Community College and am accepted to UCSD as a Econ/Math Joint Major. My grades have been fine and I had a GPA of around 3.8 before the Spring Quarter. </p>

<p>This quarter my mother became clinically depressed and lost her job, while my father no longer has relations to us. I had to start working on short notice and take care of my family and I neglected my grades as a result. I have helped my mother recover slightly and she is in the process of finding new work. The damage, however, has already been done.</p>

<p>I have not received my grades but I suspect the three classes I took are all Cs and Ds, leaving my GPA below the required 2.0 GPA. My overall GPA is still far above the 3.0 requirement but I fear it may not matter. I have around 101 quarter units with these classes so none of them are necessary except for a Music class I took to fulfill my arts requirement.</p>

<p>If my GPA this quarter does fall below 2.0, what steps can I take to prevent my acceptance from being rescinded?</p>

<p>If your GPA turns out to be below the cut-off, your admission will be rescinded, what you will have to do is send in an appeal to UCSD admissions. You can find the appeals process on the university website. Given your circumstances I feel like they will probably let you in, since I know some people who appealed on stupid grounds and got in.</p>

<p>Best of luck!!!</p>
