Dire Situation

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So hopefully, some seniors can relate to the particular situation I am in. I regrettably took AP Calculus this year and received a failing grade this semester. I literally just received an acceptance letter today from CU Boulder which is my number one choice. The rest of my senior grades are C-B's which I'm not too worried about but this class is really freaking me out. </p>

<p>Another thing to consider is that I was on the borderline of admission, I really screwed up Sophomore year but bumped my grades to a decent GPA. My ACT and SAT scores weren't spectacular but decent enough.</p>

<p>Boulder isn't the most selective with admissions so I'm praying that it won't really affect my admission. Any thoughts please? </p>

<p>Lastly, I already finished 4 units of math because I was able to take pre-cal in the summer so I will still meet the requirements.</p>

<p>I think you will be fine, just make sure you get a decent grade next semester. It is always better to go up then down.</p>

<p>An F is a kiss of death, even for a less selective flagship like Boulder. Is that your 1st quarter grade or will that go onto your midyear report? Can you still drop with a W? Can you bring it up to a C+ by the time your counselor sends the midyear report in February?</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine. Like MYOS1634 said as long as your grade wasn’t an F or D I don’t think Boulder will take you admission away. But if you can bring your grades up next semester you’ll be in good shape. I know some people that started slacking after getting accepted into college.</p>
