F on my transcript! Worried!

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a sophomore at my current university and I'm transferring to University of Pittsburgh for the Spring semester. I was already accepted, and sent in my deposit, but the acceptance letter does state that my acceptance can be revoked if I do not keep up my grades at my current university. I currently have an F in my Calculus class, which I wanted to withdraw from but due to having only 12 credits, dropping the class would put me at 9, and I would no longer be a full time student, which I need to stay for financial aid purposes. </p>

<p>So, would this F be enough for Pittsburgh to revoke me?
It wouldn't hurt my cumulative GPA because I know I'm going to get A's in my three other classes, which would average to be a 3.0 GPA for this semester, and I currently have a 3.0~ cumulative. But the F just looks really bad in my opinion, but is that how colleges look at it? or is GPA what's important? I'm a history major so this class wouldn't be mandatory at Pittsburgh, although it is at my current University due to SAT score placement which is why I'm in it. </p>

<p>So, do you think this F alone would be enough for Pittsburgh to revoke me?!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Make it easy on yourself and call the admissions office – explain your situation, tell them you’re doing the best you can to not get an F and ask if you should be worried about being rescinded. Since you’re already admitted, they’ll likely tell you directly if you should be worried.</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible that they would rescind your admission for not passing your classes. I agree that you should call Pitt ASAP and explain your situation. Hopefully the worst thing they would do is put you on academic probation for awhile.</p>

<p>Usually you just have to stay above a certain GPA. When I was accepted to Pace U, they said I had to keep above a 2.75, I think.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the advice. I know im going to fail Calc, but I know im going to get A’s in my 3 other courses so I’ll maintain my GPA. But I will give them a call. Thank you!</p>
