<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I called UCSD about the matter yesterday, because I did not want to get rescinded, and they told me that this could be a problem - because the F would have lowered my gpa and I probably would not have been accepted(my gpa was already low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 I am constantly thinking about getting rescinded every day.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>ccc isn't a bad option. that's my only advice.</p>
<p>edit: it's understandable if a personal circumstance causes a person to get a D in a class, but the fact that you got an F AND have under what.. a 2.0? sorry, that's all i can say.</p>
<p>I think you'd be better off at another college. I don't know how well you'd do at UCSD when you're obviously not even doing that great in high school. It would be in your best interest to go somewhere else.</p>
<p>I already have, but they said that that isn't the problem. The problem is that the 'NC' I reported is an 'F'. Had I reported an 'F' in the beginning, I probably would not have been admitted - that is the main problem. But I have reported to them what the situation is(The dean wont approve my petition for pass/no pass).</p>
<p>If you feel you won't meet your provisions, best bet would be to send out a letter explaining your situation.</p>
<p>I was rescinded from UCLA for a D in Calc, but was okay with UCSD. Regardless, I wasn't happy until I got all of my checkmarks on the website saying I met all of my requirements. I was very relieved.</p>
<p>Don't let anyone get you down, try your best. The resources at UCSD to help you out when you get here are loads better than what you may be having now. 'Hope to see you next year, man, best of luck.</p>
<p>I actually hadn't sent in my SIR anywhere when I got accepted into UCLA. I knew that I had failed Calc, so I sent out a letter to UCR and UCLA. UCR said it's cool, UCLA rescinded me. I spoke with someone on the phone at UCSD, and they said "historically speaking", people won't get rescinded for something like my situation. </p>
<p>I also should point out that the fact that this was my 4th year of math could have come into play.</p>
