grades

<p>well someone i know applied and apparently got accepted, but they got an F in their AP chem class. so i was wondering if there is anyway this person can still be accepted or will their acceptance be rejected once the final transripts are sent in. just wondering...thanks!</p>

<p>Um, I doubt they would be "unaccepted" because of one F, but of course it's a possibilty...WHY did he/she even THINK, let alone actual GET, an F in any class after being accepted to the NAVAL ACADEMY! Poor choice if you ask me...yea that's not good, F's are bad...</p>

<p>Just an FYI from a BGO, training informed us that offers of appointment have been recinded due to any number of things. The advice passed on to us is to advise candidates to keep their record nice and clean (grades, behavior, etc...). Basically, don't do anything dumb that could jepardize your goals! Lots can happen between now and graduation...Hope this helps!</p>

<p>There were at least three appointees turned back at I-day for the class of '08. Have no idea why, but your AP chem friend needs to know that the appointment is not a "lock" and they have two quarters left to improve their academic record.

<p>Not sure how much this will translate over, but the foundation program advised the candidates that "charlies" will send up a red flag, and "deltas and foxtrots" are "just not good enough." </p>

<p>The classes that get scrutinized heavily pre-admission are chem and calc, as they are the ones that typically cause mids problems at the academy. While chem ap is ambitious, it might be worth calling the BGO, or regional director, and getting their advice about switching to a regular chem course and demonstrating the ability to perform the work. An A or B in a regular chem course would be better than an F, D or C at this point. But seek the opinion of the experts!</p>
