Chances of being rescinded

<p>I know there's already been a thread on this....but I can't seem to find it....</p>

<p>My last grades have just been put in and I am really worried of being rescinded.</p>

<p>My grades have been constant, it's just in one of my classes I got a new teacher and she dropped my grade by nearly 30 pts.</p>

<p>I've tried so hard to figure out what the problem is....seeing as how I do all the work, meet deadlines and etc., but she just doesn't like me.</p>

<p>I am really scared of being rescinded.
Anyone care to give any insight on situations like these?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>i think i read that as long as you final transcript isn't ridiculously lower than what you have got in the past, you needn't worry. what is your gpa this semester vs semesters past?</p>

3

<p>It has dropped 10 pts because of this class.</p>

4

<p>i am not really sure what your "points" mean. but I am sure nothing will happen as long as you have higher than a B average.... 80 points?</p>

5

<p>My school bases the grading system on a scale of percentages (ie. 80% and 100%).</p>

<p>Most of my classes are AP, so my average was weighted and I had an average of 100 for the last semester.</p>

<p>But because of this new teacher my average dropped 10 points to a 90 for this last semester and that is what the admissions office will see...</p>

6

<p>I don't think a 90 average is anything to complain about.</p>

<p>My high school also graded based out of 100. The GPA stuff just never made sense to me at a high school level when most everything can be summed up neatly due to multiple choice, true/false, etc.</p>

7

<p>you are this upset because you now have a <em>gasp</em> A- average? rest easy.</p>

8

<p>Its just for my transcript it shows how I dropped from high 90's - 70 in the class itself...</p>

<p>Do they really care about only the average at this point?</p>

<p>Topics like these make me laugh so hard. Stop worrying about a 30 point drop in one subject, look at my grades:</p>

<p>Last year:

English H - A-
AP USH - B+
AP Calc - A+
AP Chem - A+
Phys H - A
Span 4 H - A

<p>This year:

AP English - B-
AP Spanish - C
AP Econ - B+
AP Calc - B+
AP Physics - B
AP Env - B - C

<p>If they send me a letter asking why I dropped so much, I'll just make some BS excuse about taking up a hard course load, picking up roller hockey, and spending more time helping out at church, etc. You've proved yourself already by getting in, man. Chill.</p>

<p>Of course, irony would slap me in the face if I get rescinded.</p>

<p>I guess it does look ridiculous...but my guidance counselor scared me with letters from people who got rescinded from their schools.</p>

<p>It just worries me that if I got rescinded, where would I go to school?</p>

<p>Community college?</p>

<p>It's not gonna happen. Senior year is supposed to be a time when you relax and try new things. Have a bit of fun please?</p>

<p>I don't think Dartmouth even considers rescinding if only one class drops. Anyway, if they do you should just have your counselor explain the new teacher situation.</p>

<p>Thanks everybody for all your opinions and advice!!!!</p>

<p>All I can do now is enjoy my last summer b4 college and hope for the best.
Good luck to you all as well and have a cool summer!!!!</p>
