<p>hello everyone!</p>

<p>I was wondering for the conditional admission, are we absolutely required to maintain our reported GPA for our senior year? or can we just maintain at least all C’s?</p>

<p>i was confused because the terms and condition said “You complete all coursework designated on your application as “in progress” or “planned” with a grade of “C” or better in addition to maintaining your reported overall grade point average.”</p>

<p>i am reallly screwed because i am not maintaining my current GPA of 3.2… i got a 2.6 last semester… (2 C’s 3B’s) (3 APs) and now I have varsity golf this semester…</p>

<p>my current total gpa is lower than a 3.2… and idk if i will get rescinded or not.</p>

<p>My AP stats teacher is horrible at teaching, and literally half the class is failing it. I got a C in that class, so do you think that would be a reasonable excuse???</p>

<p>thanks for the help guys i’m really stressing over this right now!!!</p>

<p>anyone out there??</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>I think if you have a C or above in each class you should be good to go, even if it lowered your GPA.</p>

<p>thanks slohopeful!!</p>

<p>so forsure i wont have to maintain my 3.2??? just all C’s and better right??
sorry this might be annoying but i’m really paranoid right now </p>

<p>thank you so much!</p>

<p>I looked into this last year. You are fine, as long as you get a C in all of your classes. “Maintain your GPA” means it can’t fall below .5 from your reported GPA or something like that. Just don’t get a D!</p>

<p>oh. my. God.</p>

<p>thank you guys soo much!!!</p>

<p>i can finally semi fail my stats test tomorrow in relief!!!
thanks you so much guys!!</p>

<p>Next year when you are in college, this attitude will likely get you on academic probation. No one will care if a teacher is horrible at teaching the subject. You are still expected to pass the class and put in some effort. I have serious concerns about a student going to CP (or most other schools) if they can only get C’s in high school. Keep trying to maintain some of the B’s that you are getting in the classes that you have better teachers or at least like more. </p>

<p>I would be careful about giving up so readily just because you were accepted. College is tough and every bit of preparation you can get will be helpful. The quarter system is pretty unforgiving and you have to keep your grades up with a lot more distractons than being on the golf team.
Hang in there and hold off the senioritis as long as you can!</p>

<p>Well said, momofmv!</p>

<p>A lot of high school students think that by getting into college they have crossed the bridge so to speak, and everything going forward is going to be one giant frat party. This might be true if you are majoring in some mickey mouse major at some unknown on-line private “college” in the deepest recess of the Arctic circle.</p>

<p>Nothing can be further from that vision, if you are attending Cal Poly, especially for engineering. CP has no qualm about flunking the non-committed, intellectually sloppy, or lazy freshman as quickly as possible. In fact, it is a well known statistic that about 67% of all entering engineering freshman never finish their engineering studies due to the weed out process. </p>

<p>Speaking from my personal experience, during my first day and the first class at engineering school in a packed classroom, the professor asked us to looked to the left and then look to right, and then he said by 4th year, only 1 of you will remain. </p>

<p>With that said, if you are having issues with making grades in a high school math class now, you WILL have trouble making grades in university level high math/physics sequences required for engineering, such as differential equations, linear algebra, Fourier Analysis, nuclear and solid state physics, and discrete time systems, etc. Electrical and computer engineering are essentially applied math majors. </p>

<p>Graduating with a sub 3.0 GPA from high school will just make your life a living hell in engineering school, because if you think High school is hard now, just wait until you go to college, it will be a nightmare of unfathomable proportion. </p>

<p>So just like MOMO said, don’t slack! You got VERY lucky getting into CP with a 3.2 (only 5% of the entering class has this GPA), doesn’t mean you will be lucky enough to stay in until you graduate if you slack.</p>

<p>thanks for the constructive criticism guys</p>

<p>i didnt actually mean it that way… Im pretty confidnet in my score on this test… but i was just too tired to study hardcore… and plus senioritis somewhat kicked in…</p>

<p>my usual study habits include much more determination but i was just somewhat lazy yesterday night. (probably too stressed about getting revoked admission)</p>

<p>thanks anyways and ill take your guys’ advice into mind</p>
