<p>i have a D in the third marking period in AP Chemistry. There's just too much pop quiz that I can't even study for them. However, i got A- for the first marking period and B- for the second. Does my university see the D for the 3rd marking period or the final transcript with just the average of the 4 marking periods? will i get rescinded from university(within top 25) i got in through ED?</p>
<p>Hopefully i can raise the D to a C</p>
<p>Despite what all state on CC… I have never heard of any student’s acceptance being rescinded for a D in an advanced course! That would mean you would have no school to attend since these grades would not be seen by your college until late June at the earliest. You have probably already withdrawn from your other acceptances since you stated you were admitted under the ED agreement! Therefore any student rescinded would go from a decent college to no college? How many of those students do you personally know and what was their fate… What happened to their entire career for one senior year high school course? I know of no such circumstance except for the cases stated on CC and when I asked what subsequently happened no one can give an adequate response!</p>
<p>thank you for your response</p>
<p>This makes me feel better too. My DS is struggling this semester with his course load, too.</p>
<p>Colleges do rescind offers of admission from time to time. They don’t want to. In many cases, they’ll go to some lengths to find a way to avoid withdrawing their offer of admission. Often, for example, they will allow a student to enter college in the fall on probation. As long as the fall semester of freshman year goes all right, there’s no long-lasting problem.</p>
<p>Ichang, nobody on the Internet can tell you what the college you plan to attend will “see,” because nobody on the Internet knows what transcripts from your high school look like. They may show quarter grades and mid-term and final exam grades (but that would be pretty unusual, I think), they may show semester grades with or without exam grades, or they may show only final course grades (which is what happens at my kids’ high school).</p>
<p>IMO, you need to make an appointment to talk to your guidance counselor right away. He or she can tell you what grades will be sent to the college you plan to attend, and he or she also probably has experience with students who’ve earned less than ideal grades in senior classes in the past.</p>
<p>It may also be wise to contact the college you plan to attend to notify them that you’ve been struggling in your Chemistry class, but you’re doing your best to stay on top of the problem. Your guidance counselor can probably advise you about this.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>One bad grade usually doesn’t cause a student to be rescinded. But usually doesn’t mean never. A sign of maturity is facing up to ones problems, accepting responsibility, and moving forward. UC Davis says it well in an article from their alumni magazine
They probably only care about the final grade, not an interim mark. I’d be surprised, frankly, if it was otherwise. But should your final grade be a D, if you work with them starting now you’ll have many more options than if you wait until they find out in July. </p>
<p>You need to be mature when you talk with them. Don’t blame the teacher or the class. Explain what you’re doing to try to pull up the grade, what you’ve learned from the experience, your regret for the situation. Actually I suggest you work with your counselor before contacting them to practice what to say and how to say it.</p>
