getting rescinded from ucsd? *new post*

<p>I already posted a thread about this earlier, but there are new developments. </p>

<p>I was accepted to UCSD as a Pre-Writing/Literature major with a 2.5 gpa(3 W, 2 F, you get the picture). My circumstances for doing poorly were explained in my personal statement(had to go back and fourth from school to home to take care of my mother - who had surgery and was unable to do much for a few months). I did a little better my sophomore year and was able to raise my 1.0 gpa to a 2.5(not much, I know).</p>

<p>The problem is I received an F in a calculus class this fall - but I reported it as a NP. I had to file a petition to get the grade changed for the class, but was unable to do so because of a variety of roadblocks(petition reviewer being sick, people not being in office, me leaving for a family trip, etc.). So after trying for about 4 weeks, I gave up and filed a late petition. I was in talks with a counselor for another 2-3 weeks before I was redirected to a higher-up counselor - who promptly rejected my petition.</p>

<p>During the 4 weeks before I was directed to the higher-standing official, the counselor I was talking to informed me that my petition should be able to go through and that things should be okay. Since I was under the impression that the grade would be reverted to a NC, I entered NC for my UCSD application. UCSD later emailed me to confirm that it was indeed a NC, and not an F, and I also confirmed to them that it was an NC. This was all before my petition was rejected.</p>

<p>I called UCSD about the matter yesterday, because I did not want to get rescinded, and they told me that this could be a problem - because the F would have lowered my gpa and I probably would not have been accepted(my gpa was already low enough and I was one of the 3% students to be accepted with a low gpa). </p>

<p>So now that all of that has happened, I am not sure where I stand. I am constantly thinking about getting rescinded every day. However, I am doing well this quarter and am well on my way to fulfilling my provisions(2.5 gpa overall and 2.0 for last quarter). </p>

<p>If anyone can offer some input as to what they think will happen to me, please do so - I am very worried.</p>

<p>Go to the people at your current school and let them know you need this done. Don't take no for an answer</p>

<p>I think you should ask UCSD if you can take the class in the summer.</p>

<p>brackis: i did what you said and the guy still stands firm on his decision, he says i have no evidence proving that i submitted the petition on time</p>

<p>diamond: it's not about retaking the class, it's the fact that they accepted me with the notion that i had an 'NC', not an 'F'. They said the 'F' brings my gpa down and they probably wouldn't have accepted me if it was an 'F'.</p>

<p>Have you talked to the person who actually taught the class?</p>

<p>I'll talk to him, but I don't think he has control over this situation, the dean that made the decision to reject my petition does. Thanks.</p>
