Failed Honors Calculus in High School

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a senior and about to graduate. One class, Honors calculus was really hard. I got straight C's on it until the fourth marking period, when I totally bombed the test and quizzes and got an E on it. That brings my final to a 64.75 (D). Today, I taken the Honors Calculus Final Test an I am almost certain that didn't go so well. So I expect that I have failed calculus honors. I looked at the similar questions about failing on this website and all gave a variety of answers, such as "your college application will be revoked" and "your going to be fine." </p>

<p>But in my case, what will happen? This is the only class that I have failed. In all my other classes I got B's and A's and I don't need calculus for graduation or my future career. Calculus is only an elective and I'm planning to major in Biology for Pre-Med anyway. So if I found out that I really did fail calculus honors, what should I do? What will happen? Would my college that I already got accepted to really revoked my application as people said in similar posts?</p>

<p>Schools have different policies for just about everything. Once you get your grade, call the college and ask what their policy is. No one here can give you a definitive answer.</p>

<p>You only get revoked if you’re accepted, but then totally bomb your senior year. For example, if you fail calculus but somehow manage to get accepted to a prestigious university, you shouldn’t be rescinded unless your senior grades drop. Also, not every college revokes applications.</p>

<p>You may want to consider retaking calculus or a similar course…biology can involve a decent amount of calculus.</p>

<p>OK! Thank you all for your advice. I’ll wait for the final grades and hope that I passed. If not, I’ll talk to my college.</p>

<p>Read your college admission letter – if it has conditions of senior year performance that you do not meet, then you may have to contact the college about it.</p>

<p>Many medical schools do require that students take a college calculus course.</p>
