<p>it's very likely.</p>
<p>should I pay a deposit for my state U because other schools would probably rescind me?</p>
<p>no. you'll probably get a letter in the mail or something asking you what happened. chances are nothing serious will go down.</p>
<p>I don't have a great excuse though.</p>
<p>Even State Us require admitted students to maintain their high school GPA.</p>
<p>this isn't a great state school and I have a full ride to the honors college. I'm hoping they'd just put me on probation or something.</p>
<p>Try improving your grades. For example, I improved my AP Calculus AB grade from a 79.8 to an 84.2 last Thursday.</p>
<p>If you can't improve your grades, write a letter about any hardships that might have taken place.</p>
<p>I will be lucky to get Ds and Cs, and there aren't really any hardships.</p>
<p>So I'm thinking the state school right now?</p>
<p>are you just fooling around? Cs you can get away with, the Ds are like giant red flags</p>
<p>do you even want to go to college, because it seems not so much, which is okay</p>
<p>do you even want to bring the grades up?</p>
<p>and the state school might not accept the Ds anyway</p>
<p>Ask the school.</p>
<p>I definitely want to bring the grades up, but it's unlikely that I can raise them all. Right now I'm focused on getting the failing grades to Ds so I can graduate.</p>
<p>I guess I'll check with the school tomorrow.</p>
<p>C's won't hurt too much (unless you have too many of them). Ds and Fs mark the red flag.</p>
<p>You need to talk to the college as yes, there is a definite chance that you'll be rescinded. </p>
<p>The state u also may rescind your admission. Even a 2nd or 3rd tier state school would be wary about allowing a student to enter whose grades have fallen to "Ds" senior year. You may need to start college at community college</p>
<p>Don't start at a community college. Try improving your grades.</p>
<p>Community colleges are cheap, but many students drop out because of the transfer process or they settle with an AA.</p>
<p>"I definitely want to bring the grades up, but it's unlikely that I can raise them all. Right now I'm focused on getting the failing grades to Ds so I can graduate."</p>
<p>This is why I don't think the OP will be able to go to a four-year college.</p>
<p>Many students don't make it through community college because they went to community college because they lacked the self discipline to study and get decent grades. A student who's struggling to raise grades to Ds senior year doesn't sound like a good bet to do well at any college until the student develops the motivation and discipline to do better.</p>
<p>It's harder to succeed at college than high school because it's much easier to skip classes. One also has a lot more freedom, which means much more opportunity to do things like party all day, something that most teens can't do while in high school.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree with you, Northstarmom.</p>
<p>Well, if he has no other option, community college should be fine as long as the OP gets supports from other college students and programd to succeed in a community college.</p>
