<p>I'm not exaggerating, I've been sick to my stomach every single day since they've requested my midyear grades. I'm from New Hampshire and really want to get into URI, I didn't perform too well in HS freshmen-junior year. My GPA going to senior year was 2.5. I got straight up denied from UNH (early action), got into two safety schools that I really do not want to attend, and then applied for URI (regular admission). They've requested midyear grades from me and I was SO excited. My senior year was going perfectly until a slip-up my 2nd quarter.</p>

<p>Q1 Grades were,
B
B
A-
B+
Pass(100) pass;fail class
Pass(85) pass;fail class</p>

<p>Q2 Grades were,
A-
A
F
B-
Pass (100) pass;fail class
Pass (86) pass;fail class</p>

<p>Semester Grades were,
A-
B+
B
C-
Pass(100) pass;fail class
Pass(86) pass;fail class</p>

<p>Yep, I completely messed up. Failed IB Film Making second quarter (with a 60%, my school does not offer D's). Did not expect to receive the grade but it happened. I feel like I just completely ruined my chances to get into URI. They've already received my midyear grades, I sent admissions an e-mail explaining myself and taking full responsibility for the grade, but told them that it was not usual and will not happen again. They put it in my file.</p>

<p>Do you guys think I blew it? Acceptance/rejection comes back at the latest by the end of March. I feel so sick, I want to go here more than anything else. I've been enthusiastic in e-mails and they're aware that I'd enroll if I was accepted. Please post your opinions here.</p>

<p>Thank you all so much,</p>

<p>You are much too hard on yourself. You should be glad you have college options for next year. Worst case, you go somewhere else for one year and then transfer elsewhere (assuming you do well academically). This happens all the time. Get some sleep and have a sandwitch.</p>

<p>same thing happened to me, kinda. but don’t stress it. Classes I have: senior studio, AP art history, environmental science, statistics, ethics, literature of NE. Got A, A-, B, B, B, B,I had a 2.6 GPA from freshman to junior year, i sent my grades to URI it was a 3.3 or 3.4, im still waiting to hear as well. I mailed a letter to admissions saying that i really want to go, and i said why (ask me if you want to see it) , i emailed the Film Media Professor, she put a word in admission for me. My parents went to URI, and four of my aunts. Im in state, and i took 5 years of Rhode Island School Of Design (RISD) classes in Photography and advanced media getting a 3.4. from 5th grade to 10th grade. I did not take a language, i had a waiver, they requested that i send that in as wellas my mid year grades, but im not sure if they automaticly ask for mid year grades, in other words idk if they would have accepted me if i sent it in to begin with. idk. I did 4 years of varsity track, 2 years of cross country, i maintained a job as a waiter, i bought my own car,2008 mazda, (all this is in my essay). I also helped with save the bay and helped with functions at Brown University where my mom works. but based on my credentials i will let you compare, and i will let you know if i get in or not.</p>
