<p>I was accepted in to American University's Honors College and also received their presidential scholarship. They want a final transcript. This year I took two classes at a college near by (Ursinus College). The first semester I got a B in Calc II, but the second semester, I'm pretty sure I got an F in Discrete Math. I don't know for sure, but I failed the last two tests and took the final today. Do you think American will revoke my admission or take away my scholarship or status as an Honors Student? I'm really mad at myself because I didn't need to take Discrete because with my 4 on the Calc AB exam and a B in Calc II, I had fulfilled American's Gen ed requirements for math. Only math majors and computer science majors need Discrete math, and I want to do poli sci. Will they consider any of this?</p>
<p>College’s accept low grades like C’s after they’ve accepted you but F’s and failing…</p>
<p>Call them up and explain your situation. Maybe you could work something out. If the classes you are taking now are extra and you have already fulfilled your graduation requirement, they might be lenient. :)</p>
<p>This class doesnt seem like it was important to you in terms of needing it to graduate. since you were taking it more or less “for fun” I can see them letting it slide</p>
<p>
Uh, no. Using UCal as an example, a D or F will get you rescinded. If American does still accept you they may very well put you on academic probation for first semester. You need to call the school to discuss this, now.</p>
<p>Agree completely with previous poster - you need to call now and discuss - maybe even set up an appt. and come in person if you can. No one on CC can accurately tell you how this will affect your admission to the honors college or the scholarship.</p>
<p>Agree totally it is important to be proactive, especially to maintain /salvage your status.Do your parents know? Have you discussed this with your teacher? Could you just drop the course and get a w/d?</p>
<p>Well, I am scheduled to talk with my counselor in two days, so I’m just trying to get some general opinions. But anyways, in anyone’s experience, how much influence do extenuating circumstances have in these processes? I mean my parents have been in the middle of a divorce pretty much the entire time I took the class, so do colleges generally consider that a lot when they might rescind someone or is it just a minimal factor? I know no one here would know specically, but if there is some sort of generalization for that sort of thing let me know.</p>
<p>Colleges would definitely take something like a divorce into account. If you dont feel comfortable calling them yourself, have your counselor call them instead.</p>
<p>Er, is this class you took at university even going to appear on your transcript? I’ve taken classes at a local university and my high school doesn’t even ask for the grades.</p>
