<p>I was accepted into Penn recently and was wondering what would happen if I received a D in AP Calculus (as of now, I'm pretty sure I have a solid C though). The rest of my grades are fine (mostly A's and one B), but a lot of people are in the same position as me when it comes to AP Calculus. A lot of people are doing poorly. </p>
<p>I was wondering if there was any way for my admission not to be revoked. Penn is my dream school and I'd hate for all my hard work in high school to go to waste because I did poorly in one class that a lot of other people are also struggling in. </p>
<p>I work hard, I study, but still, I haven't been able to do well this semester. </p>
<p>One D+ wont hurt you. At least I hope not. I got one too man. In multivariable calc. I know people in wharton right now who have straight cs so you’re looking it whether penn cares about a rather poor performance in one class or an all round bad performance. I think the answer is neither that much and if anything, they’ll have to kick all of you.</p>
<p>Lastly, colleges just don’t kick people out like that. There’s a warning, a low D or f in one class sometimes merits a letter from teachers or counselors guaranteeing that the performance isn’t talent or potential related and is just the result of senioritis and other factors. At least this is what I’ve been told and researched.</p>
<p>The answer to your question depends upon whether your going to be attending Penn or Wharton. If your going to Penn, a poor grade in an advanced math class won’t hurt you because admissions people are well aware that some people do poorly in upper level math not because they have slacked off but because the material is too tough for them (which is fine if you are not going to a math heavy program like wharton)</p>
<p>Wharton is part of Penn. When you’re saying “Penn or Wharton”, do you perhaps mean Wharton vs. the three other schools (CAS, Nursing, SEAS)? </p>
<p>And to answer the question, I seriously doubt one D will warrant a rescission, as I know that there are probably many people in a similar situation, and rescinding so many students will look bad on Penn’s part.</p>
