D in physics senior year

<p>I think that I may end up with a D in physics for my first semester grade but all my other grades are good will my admission be taking back?
I have never gotten a D in my life so this really sucks because it is not like I was slacking in the class it was just to hard. I do not even know why I am taking the class I want to be an International Relations/ Journalism major</p>

<p>what school? if it's a private school, most likely they will NOT revoke your admission. THey might give you a warning, tho, so be prepared for that.</p>

<p>Yeah Boston University, NYU, Tufts, and USC</p>

<p>don't get any more Ds, and you'll be fine. If you really did struggle in the class and didn't slack off, maybe you might want to write them a letter telling them cuz they're ultimately going to see your D.</p>

<p>Cool, ok hopefully I aced my final and I do not have to do that. But if so should I just email or call the admissions office?</p>

<p>Anyone else have suggestions?
Should I notify NYU about the grade even though they do not ask for a midyear grade report?</p>

<p>Hey man, I totally can understand where you come from. Alot of people here are probably judging you because of your D in physics, thinking that you did not give it your best. I am pretty sure you did. </p>

<p>I for one, went through what you went through. In the classes that I got C's in (APs), I pretty much slacked off and did nothing the whole semester. Once I started thinking I would get D in physics I worked my ass off for 6 weeks and I just could not do it, with problems such as unfair an teacher (top 3 students at my school were in my class and he figured if they could get an A on the test, so could everyone. All three already accepted EA to Ivy Leage: Yale, Princeton, Columbia). </p>

<p>But anyways, I recomend you dropping the course and taking something easier or nothing at all. It is doubtful (from my personal experience) that you will be able to pull off a B, which is what your going to want to show colleges you really can succeed in Physics. It is very possibly you will get another D, as second semester tends to be harder, or a C, which does not look all that good. Just take ceramics or something. I think colleges rather see nothing at all, rather than two low senior year grades.</p>

<p>What if one has a C- in an honors spanish class? Should they drop it and move on to regular spanish? I am struggling in spanish right now. But I can't decide if I should drop it. I'm gonna work hard this semester to maintain an A in honors spanish but I find that it will be difficult to do. What should I do?</p>

<p>I also have an unfair teacher that has some sortof vendetta against me. I have done nothing to her. I am only a junior and without the honors spanish I would have only 2 challenging courses this semester - honors bio and honors algebra 2.</p>

<p>bumppppppppp</p>

<p>If you feel your teacher is out to fail you, I would recomend finding another teacher. I have had those teachers before and I switched for second semester. </p>

<p>I would go to regular Spanish if you do not think you can bring that C- up to a B second semester. C-'s in what seem to be fairly easy class are not good grades to get, especially both semesters. </p>

<p>No one can make this decision but you. Only you know what you are capable of.</p>

<p>I am so scarred that I am going to be rejected from college just because of this one D grade. :(</p>

<p>Don't worry. If you are working as hard as you can, it NOT your fault. It really sucks because alot of people are hoping to have an easier senior year but I've seen that senior year classes are SUPER hard. I think that Narcissa had a good idea. Let them know how you were struggling in that class and that you did not slack off. Also tell them how you are going to improve such as getting a tutor, getting help from your teacher after school. However, if you think the class is just too much for you, drop it. It's not worth all your trouble to get a bad grade in a class that doen't even interest you. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I mean, a D is pretty bad. At least if it was a C. Is that anyway you could raise it to a C?</p>

<p>But, if your gpa was good through junior year and your sat's are good, then i'm sure college won't care too much. But, if your on the borderline to admissions they will take this D into consideration. I suggest you try you best from now on, and definitly contact admissions. Physics is not that hard if you pay attention in class, and look over your notes every night. I'm telling you, your probably smart considering the schools you applied to...You would get at least a C if you were concentrated in class and if you studied every night. But, I know that it is so annoying to have to do that everynight.. I understand. You will be fine though, this on D is no big deal.</p>

<p>Should I tell NYU even though they do not ask for a midyear grade report?</p>
