<p>I think I might be getting a D this last semester of senior year...
And this is is AP Calculus. Am I getting rescinded? I know that it will be very hard for me to raise the grade to a C because we don't have more upcoming tests coming up...
Do you guys have any miraculous stories to tell me of previous CSULB students who didn't get rescinded with a D second semester of senior year? Can you tell me what I can do? Any suggestions?
And I live really close to the LB area... if this info helps in anyway...
I'm getting depressed just thinking about getting the rescinded notification... </p>
<p>Btw, how much do the +/- signs attached to your grade matter?
For instance, will a D+ is still a big flat D huh?</p>
<p>Your best bet is to contact them and ask them yourself. They won’t care about the + grade though. Good luck!</p>
<p>Should I call them right now? Or after the second semester is over? Or after the May 1st deadline for incoming freshmen dates are over? </p>
<p>Also, what number do I call them with?</p>
<p>Assuming this grade doesn’t drastically affect your overall GPA, you should be fine. Call the admission’s office to be sure. In the meanwhile, try to get your D up to a C if possible.</p>
<p>Doh! you replied, The Power Of One. I pm’ed you but you beat me to it.
When you say the overall gpa,. with this last semester over and done with… I’m probably getting a GPA of 3.0… Is this a very bad, sudden drop?</p>
<p>It’s pretty much impossible for me to get the C by the end of the semester we have no more points to add to the grade ): except a maybe a 200 point final. but even with that it’s impossible. I have no hope…</p>
<p>vnumbers,
I PMed you a reply. If you would, please copy and paste it into this thread for others to read. I forgot to do that myself and it does not appear that sent messages are saved.</p>
<p>thanks and let us know what they say for this year.</p>
<p>A PM’ed reply from otc2010- VERY HELPFUL!</p>
<p>Hi vnumbers,
I am sorry to hear of your situation. It makes the end of senior year super stressful.</p>
<p>So, you have the D in AP Calc, just for second semester? (I will base my answer on this situation, but let me know if it’s different.)</p>
<p>CSULB only requires 3 years of math, through Algebra II, so you have met that requirement as long as you received a C or better in those classes. The next hoop you’ll need to make it through is the eligibility cut-off. It is calculated using your GPA and SAT or ACT test score. Use the GPA you think will go on your transcript (it’s the 10-12 GPA for Senior Year, excluding non A-G classes).
- SAT (scores in mathematics and critical reading) + (800 x high school grade point average)
- (10 x ACT composite score without the writing score) + (200 x high school grade point average)
You can use SDSU’s calculator: <a href=“http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/admissions/...indexcalc.html[/url]”>http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/admissions/...indexcalc.html</a> My son’s score was 998. Next, you’ll need to know if you are Tier 1 or Tier 2. Tier 1 is inside the guaranteed admissions area and 2 is outside the area (My son is from San Diego, outside has a higher cut-off). CSULB does not publish their cut-off numbers on their web site. They change each year based on the mix of students that apply. </p>
<p>You should definitely call admissions now and tell them the details of the D and your eligibility index number, along with mentioning you are Tier 1 or 2. If the say it probably won’t be a problem, that’s the same response they gave last year. And, I think that means they aren’t going to go as harsh as SDSU did last year, where they made the D an auto-rescind (UC Riverside and UCSC made it mandatory, too).</p>
<p>Rest assured you aren’t the only one rowing this boat. It was good that you didn’t drop the class as that’s a violation, too. Have you spoken to the teacher and your counselor? Also, if you get a 3 on the AP Calc, you automatically earned a passing grade. </p>
<p>Keep me posted…I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you!</p>
<p>I just read your post in the forum and saw that you are Tier 1. That’s a plus and the eligibility cut-off is lower. For instance, at CSU Northridge, who published their cut-off last year:
- For California residents in Tier 1, inside the Local Guarantee Admission Area, a minimum index of 2900 using the SAT or 694 using the ACT is required.
- For California residents in Tier 2, outside the Local Guarantee Admission Area, a minimum CSU Eligibility Index of 3340 using the SAT or 780 using the ACT is required.
Index subject to change for Fall 2012 admission.
I do believe CSULB is tougher to get into. So their cut-off is probably a bit higher. I know that SDSU (no guaranteed admission area) has an AVERAGE index of 1024 ACT or 4228 SAT.</p>

<p>Im in the same boat as you with AP Calc, haha good luck to be the both of us!</p>
<p>youpaparazzi,</p>
<p>Isn’t it hard right now? I’m so fraustrated at myself for getting the D.
But otc2010 has been such a huge help! I really don’t know how I would be at the moment if I never pm’ed her.</p>
<p>Yesyes, really good luck to the both of us and hopefully we will be seeing each other in the fall!</p>
<p>Yeah Clac is tough! haha I’m going to call today to see what they have to say, you call yet vnumbers?</p>
<p>i know you guys arent transfers but heres what they told me:</p>
<p>Dear ******, </p>
<p>Thank you for your inquiry. </p>
<p>You were admitted provisionally for Fall 2011, which means that you were admitted
provided you complete A2 Speech with a grade of C or better, no later than Spring 2011.<br>
You met all other requirements, including requirements for the Business major. </p>
<p>You are required to submit an official transcript from ******* College showing grades through Spring 2011.
This will confirm that you met the A2 Speech requirement with a grade of C or better.<br>
The deadline for submitting this transcript is July 15, 2011. </p>
<p>Calculus II is not required for admission. However, it would be better to withdraw than to receive
a substandard grade of D or F, as this will lower your gpa. </p>
<p>If you need further clarification, please contact me.</p>
<p>I am also in a similar situation…how did things turn out for you guys??</p>
