<p>I got into the university of chicago, now I got straight B's in ad calc, phys C, engineering and ive got a D in english. my moms keeps saying im gonna get my acceptance revoked. is that true?</p>
<p>It is a general rule that if u r 2 letter grades below the average grades u got when u applied, then u might be rescinded. Since u got b’s and a d is 2 letter grades below a b, I will be a bit scared too. Colleges rarely rescind, so dont be too scared, but definitely bring that d up. U dont want to risk the chance and u should do better than a d if u r attending u of chicago.</p>
<p>the b’s won’t matter. the d in english is cause to rescind however…get that up.</p>
<p>That D needs to go up to a C in the least. Try to get another grade up to an A so you have a 3.0</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters about somehow fixing that D (crying to your teacher about possibly being rescinded and begging for extra credit might work?), but I think an important tip is you should never call the school, give your name, then ask if you’ll be rescinded… It seems like common sense not to do that, but a lot of scared parents/students end up doing it anyway and it obviously makes the whole situation worse…</p>

Hardly obvious! </p>
<p>I disagree 100% with this advice. In life your boss, spouse, and admissions officer are going to be much more willing to work with you if you tell them about a problem instead of waiting for them to run across it. A sign of maturity is facing up to one’s problems. If they admitted you they want you, but they have some flexibility in how to respond. A person that says “I messed up, I’m sorry, here’s why it won’t happen again” leaves a very different taste than someone who hopes they can slip the problem under the rug.</p>
<p>Now I don’t think you need to call the school until you are pretty sure you’re getting a D. But once it is inescapable then let them know right away; you have a lot more flexibility in June in terms of what you can do to make up the grade than you will in August when they get your transcripts and find it. They will find it, BTW; they get paid to review transcripts and look for issues.</p>
