Hey guys! So i was wondering how bad it would look if I got a C my senior year in AP Calculus. I have a 3.9 UW (but I know that this C will drop me to a 3.8 UW). I’m particularly talking about UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, UC Berkeley, and USC (private school). How closely will this affect my admission to private schools like USC? I’m really sad right now.
Oh and is it possible that if I do get accepted into one of those schools that I’ll get rescinded?
If it helps I have a very rigorous courseload this year…
My classes:
AP Government
AP Microeconomics
AP Literature and Composition
AP French
AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics
AP Art History
AP Biology
For the UC’s except UCLA/UCB, the provisional admission contract says maintain weighted GPA of 3.0 and no D’s or F’s. UCLA/UCB want an unweighted GPA of 3.0 and no more than 2C’s. You are fine but it is always better to bump up the C. Not sure about USC’s provisional admission policy, but you should ok.
If this is a first semester thing:
If you’re not generally a C student and the school receives a mid-year report with a C on it, it could certainly be detrimental to your application. I’m pretty sure the UCs don’t receive a mid year report so you should be fine there.
If this is a second semester thing :
The general rule is “no Ds, Fs, fraud (plagiarizing/cheating), or felonies”. So in that case the C wouldn’t get you rescinded.
