Dual enrollment course dilemma

<p>I'm a sophomore and I was taking a dual enrollment course which I was doing really well at and then I lost interest, started skipping and currently am completely failing. I'm so embarrassed and angry at myself, and I can't believe I let myself get into this situation. I just want to know how badly this will affect me. Will this make my chances of getting into any decent university 0, and will it be calculated into my colllege gpa in the future? I am SO stressed out right and now and am seriously hating myself.</p>

<p>I’m literally on the verge of tears. the worst part is that i have no one to blame but myself</p>

<p>It depends on the college.</p>

<p>Most colleges won’t include grades from other colleges in GPA for the college’s purposes, but professional schools like medical school may want to calculate GPA from all colleges attended, including dual enrollment courses in high school.</p>

<p>ok >_< but say if i wanted to go to georgetown and all my other stats were on par, would this ruin all my chances?</p>

<p>This F will follow you for the rest if your life because it is a college credit. You should find out if you can still drop it, and get a W on your transcript. If you can’t do that, ask if you can take an Incomplete, and finish the work during the summer. With a bit of hard work, you may yet be able to pull your grade up to passing. Lastly, ask about grade renewal policies at that school. If you retake the class, will it wipe out the F?</p>

<p>One more optio: can you convert that class from credit to audit? If is is an audit, you don’t get a grade at all.</p>

<p>I think if I ace everything else I can pull of a C. Then I can retake it get the A I know I’m capable of. The university makes it so that both grades appear on your transcript but they average the two together for gpa purposes. UGH but I can’t retake until senior year which means every school I apply to will see the awful grade…</p>

<p>A C earned on a true college-level class when you are a sophomore in HS is not a bad grade at all. Lots of regular college students probably will get Cs as well.</p>

<p>Don’t retake this if you finish with a C. Take something else instead.</p>
