<p>I might get an F in a half year AP course. I can retake the course in night school, so I'll graduate. But will colleges rescind my admission if they see I failed a course? I'm planning to attend either FSU or UCF.</p>

<p>They could, I don't know whether they will or not. How badly do they want you?</p>
<p>Among UCF and FSU's acceptees, my SAT score is in about the 80th percentile; my GPA, the 50th; and my ECs suck.</p>
<p>No adcom wants to see an F...ever! You just better have a good explanation ready...for the adcom, not for us on CC!</p>
<p>I know someone who got an F in junior year (encountered a teacher with 'issues'). And even though that student's transcript was otherwise stellar, and the student made up for the F with honors in summer school, the grade revealed a potential "flaw" in the student's academic performance that adcoms at top tier schools just would not ignore.</p>
<p>An adcom at FSU or UCF may or may not let you slide. Noone on CC can really tell you for sure, unless they have some experience getting in with an F in senior year.</p>
<p>Work your arse off to not get an F, man!</p>
<p>I don't know what I would have done if you didn't tell me "Try not to get an F" and "No one here can tell you, unless they know." Thanks, guys!</p>
<p>I do know someone who was accepted to a college, failed a class, and then had his admission rescinded. So it does happen and, as was mentioned before, you'd better have a damn good reason. As in "I was in a coma for one half and my brother was on his deathbed the other half" sort of reason, not a wishy-washy something with the word senioritis in it.</p>
