Final Senior Year Grade?

<p>Do the following schools require a final senior year grade? </p>

<p>I have a feeling that I will have 2 C's at the end of this semester (all AP classes)... how badly would this affect my status, if I were ALREADY admitted to the university? </p>

<p>University of Michigan
University of Southern California</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Michigan does. Not positive. Google it.</p>

<p>also, I am thinking of doing Pass No Credit for that AP class where now I currently have a C…</p>

<p>is that a better idea?</p>

<p>yes, i know someone who got a C- in AP Physics E/M first semester, and then decided to take it credit/no credit b/c she was doing badly 2nd semester as well</p>

<p>Yes, virtually all colleges want to have on record your final transcript. </p>

<p>It’s unlikely they will rescind your acceptance if you have one C. However, you might want to consider switching the AP course to P/F if you’re worried about your gpa, but take the AP exam anyway. </p>

<p>If you were in college and thinking of transferring, colleges will not acknowledge a P/F for credit.</p>

<p>I believe they both require final grades. I doubt a C will be devastating however (and the schools may assume much worse if you take the class P/F).</p>

<p>yes USC is hardnosed about maintaining your final senior GPA.
They expect you to submit your final grades, don’t give them anything to cut you loose.</p>

<p>(brother at USC)</p>

<p>So, if I had 2 C’s, would that be considered dangerous? </p>

<p>Would colleges rather have Pass/No Credit or just a big fat C on the final transcript…? I’m debating on whether or not to switch to pass/nc or keep my current grade status.</p>

<p>because I heard they consider a P/NC as a C-, not a C…?</p>

<p>Call and ask an admissions officer…and then confirm the reply in an email so you have a record of the advice given. A C- can quickly become a D+…seems you need to take precautions here and do a bit more work…</p>

<p>Since it hasn’t happened yet…they cannot rescind you now. Ask them for some frank and honest advice.</p>

<p>Each school has different policies- and why would you risk it by seeking unofficial advice here.</p>
