Failing a course, but already accepted to transfer university

<p>Hey,</p>

<pre><code> I am a finance major. I am not sure if I'm going to pass statistics (the teacher is an ass- I know I'm going to get flamed for this for not taking full responsibility but he really is an ass). I will more than likely pass this class, but if I end up failing is it possible I will have my admission taken away over failing statistics? I have gotten into cuny- baruch and unc- Wilmington and I am worried that if I fail both the schools won't let me in (I will have 73 credits at the end of this semester). My overall gpa is a 3.6 and I am expeceting to get around a 3.3-3.7 I have mostly a's in my other classes.

<p>It really depends on the school, but they CAN choose not to accept you after your final grades are in. Schools usually have “conditions of enrollment” when you’re accepted and if you don’t meet those guidelines it could be a problem. I hope you can pull your grade up and if not, I hope they are understanding since you’ve done well in your other classes!</p>

<p>You’ll be fine</p>

4

<p>If it is a mandatory prereq for your major, then they may rescind your admissions.</p>

5

<p>Take a W. An F is grounds for rescindment at many schools, though you’d need to call to make sure.</p>

6

<p>yeah. do a late drop/withdrawal before the semester ends if you know you’re going get a D and lower.</p>

7

<p>One thing you could do if you do fail, is see if its okay if you can retake it in the summer.</p>

8

<p>I agree with Wayward - go for the W. I would not be flirting with the possibility of failing this late into the semester. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>Drop the class!!</p>

<p>it is too late if I drop the class. I went to the teacher a week before the drop deadline and he told me “not to worry about it”. I have to get my 64 test average to a 67 to get a D. I think very soon I can’t even get a WF. Are you saying go for a WF?</p>

11

<p>I’m sorry a 67 to get a C. Trust me, I would have already dropped the class if I knew I was doing this bad.</p>

12

<p>hate to triple post, but I just wanted everybody to know that as long as I have an overall gpa of a 2.5 by the time I enroll, I will still be admitted (btw **** stat).</p>

<p>It is too soon to say you are “failing” the class. </p>

<p>It’s simple. Don’t fail the class. I’m not just blowing wind here. I have seen this before, and you can turn it around.</p>

<p>Go to prof hours early and often (I know you already have done so). Regardless of how you feel about the prof; he’s already indicated a certain degree of being in your camp. Profs are human; the more he sees you care about doing well, the more benefit of the doubt he will give you at grading time. Ask him what you can do to learn what you are missing.</p>

<p>Get a study partner/group - or a new one if you already have one. Ask the prof or others for a different text/website to help you.</p>

<p>Get a tutor. Preferably one who has taken this course from this prof.</p>

<p>I have seen all of the above, when done, turn a possible/probable F into a C+.</p>
