The first semester technically isn’t over yet (we have finals, then it’ll really be over), but I’m worried that I’ll get a D in my AP Calc AB class. I have a 71% right now, but we just took a test, and I’m worried that it’ll lower my grade to a D.
I also haven’t been doing as well as I was in the previous years and only have one A out of the five classes that I’m taking, the rest being B’s.
I’ve applied to the UCs and California State Schools. I’ve also applied to USC, NYU, Boston University, Northeastern University, and Santa Clara University. I’m super stressed out right now
If you get a grade below a C then the UC system requires you to notify them. If you don’t do that and they accept you, when they see your final transcript next summer they can revoke your admission. See the “after you apply” FAQ on the UC website.
The UC system bases admission on your GPA sophomore and junior year. They do not consider your freshman year grades. They do not see your senior grades until they get your final transcript, but they have a requirement about keeping your grades up. It varies by school so you have to look up that the GPA that each one requires.
Also if you received a D another concern is whether you will even meet the UC admission requirements. Will you still have enough units to satisfy the math requirement?
If you are a California resident you need to start working with your counselor to figure out where you stand and what you can do. As well as figure out some alternatives. If you are not a California resident then be aware that the UC. System gives zero financial aid to OOS students.
Fir the UC’s::: If there are changes to your academic record…
Freshmen: If you change schools, add or drop a course, or fail to earn a C or better in a course after you submit your application, you must notify the UC Application Center by email or postal mail. Your correspondence must include your name, UC Application ID number and your signature (if you mail a letter), and will be available to all the campuses to which you applied.
If you receive an offer of admission, be sure to confirm with the campus admission office that they are aware of the deficient grade or schedule changes. Although you must notify the campus of these changes, we cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after correspondence has been received. Make sure to save a copy of your correspondence just in case.
