<p>i would like to know as well.</p>
<p>bump, is 1 D ok in an AP class 2nd semester for lets say the University of Washington (Seattle)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you cut/are absent a lot (in some cases), you lose credit for your classes. And that means you fail. And from there the college might find out why youāre failing and cutting will not help your case, Iām thinking.</p>
<p>For the accelerated dental program at UoP, which is really selective, would a few Bās second semester result in getting admission rescinded? My friendās going to go and heās really freaked out. I donāt think he will be deadmitted, because his GPA would be well above 3.0 UW. Any feedback would be great. :-)</p>
<p>hmm, I was wondering, posted this before btw</p>
<p>On my UCapps in october, I put down I was in a club and did x hours of community service. I did this for 2 clubs. I was actually in the club and did actually plan to do the community serivice, but I got lazy and dropped out of club after the first semester. The other one Iām still in and doing community service. Will my admission get rescinded?</p>

<p>Sās friend was deferred for a year from Stanford last year after failing AP Chemistry. He had to retake the class at a community college and will be a freshman this fall.</p>
<p>so does that mean that a D (which is not failing) in an AP class at a far less prestigous university is okay?</p>
<p>^^no, sometimes they are more strict. State universities are probably the harshest about rescinding people.</p>
<p>Really? So would you guys say that U of washington would be far stricter than a medium private school like Loyola Marymount for 1 D second semester sr yrā¦?</p>
<p>I donāt know about U. of Washington specifically, but it is a fairly large school and might have a specific rigid policy on rescinding for lower grades. And that policy may not account for the poor grade being in a more difficult AP class. A smaller private school might be more flexible. </p>
<p>Do anything and everything you can to raise this grade.</p>
<p>ok thanks i am working hard to bring it up.</p>
<p>anyone else any thoughts at which one will hate the D more, to simply put it (if it comes to this)?</p>
<p>what about in-school suspension for leaving campus during lunch (ivy league school)</p>
<p>I doubt that any college would care that you got suspended for leaving campus during lunch unless you did something like leave campus to score drugs.</p>
<p>So we survive the whole college-application process with visits, essays, recommendations, hand-wringing, acceptances, rejections, more visits, and finally make a decision that everyoneās very happy with. Third quarter grades come in and they are a definite (although I would not say precipitous) drop. (In reading this whole thread I feel almost heartened that my son has had a mix of As, Bs, and Cs throughout high school!) Iām trying to tell myself weāre not in real trouble if there are no Ds or Fs on the final report card. Anybody want to give me a warm and fuzzy that this is likely? (There will be no behavior/attendance/ethics problems.)</p>
<p>And what exactly is the process for sending final high school grades? Whose responsibility?</p>
<p>GCās responsibility to send grades.
As long as your S has no Ds or Fs on his transcript, it is highly, highly, highly unlikely heāll be rescinded.
Saying this from my experience with older S, whose h.s. grades were similar to your Sās.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, if you wish to worry, you can worry about whether your S has the self discipline to get passing grades in college, which will provide less structure than he has now.</p>
<p>My older S got a .46 (!) gpa fall semester of college, and then probably got a 0 gpa spring semester. Heād entered the college, a 2nd tier OOS public, with major merit aid due to a strong academically-related EC, and very strong scores.</p>
<p>In college, though, he started partying (had never partied before), and didnāt bother to go to class.</p>
<p>My suggestion is to right now let your S know what grades will be acceptable for him in college. If he doesnāt make those grades fall semester, pull him out and have him return home, get a job and pay rent. This may inspire him to return to college and graduate.</p>
<p>Younger Sās h.s. grades were very similar to older Sās and your Sās. His grades dropped so much second semester that he almost didnāt graduate. He was another high scoring student, but because I didnāt stand over him to structure his time so he got college apps in (something that I had done with older S), younger S didnāt get around to applying, even though as had been the case with older S, he claimed to want to go to college.</p>
<p>He did get himself a fulltime volunteer position with Americorps, and lived at home, paying rent, during that year, which he enjoyed, but which also showed him why it was important for him to go to college.</p>
<p>Fall of his freshman year in the college of his choice (a private that heās paying for this year with the help of loans and merit aid, H and my response to his horrible senior year grades), he got a 3.66 average. He knows that weāll pitch in and help pay for college in subsequent years as long as he keeps the 3.0 gpa that his scholarships require.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, older S, 24, is living on his own 2,000 miles away, supporting himself in an office job. He has never returned to college and still thinks he doesnāt need it. If we could do things over, H and I would have had him return home after his disastrous fall semester freshman year in college, but we know that things could be worse with him. We know because since he dropped out of college, we experienced worse.</p>
<p>Soā¦learn from our experience.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the input. I really value hearing from people who have been through this. As to next year, we havenāt talked too much about itāweāre really trying to get through this one. Assuming everything stays as is, there will be definite discussion about what needs to happen for him to stay in college. I think itās something of a help that there <em>is</em> a minimum GPA to keep the merit aid, and heāll be playing on a sports team, which I hope will further bind him to the school. (And do keep in mind that āmany paths to successā thing. Itās been my mantra for many years. I think many people would be thrilled to have a 24-year-old whoās living independently.)</p>

<p>Thank you so much for that important reminder. Sās performance also has earned him raises and the promise of a promotion on his job of 2 years, so I do need to count our blessings and celebrate his independence.</p>
<p>Roger that!!</p>
