Hi all. This has been hanging over my head this weekend so I really need some feedback. The problem is that I’ve been taking a math class at the community college for 2nd semester but haven’t been doing too well. I’m very worried about not passing. I listed the class in my applications and I’ve already been accepted into I, R, LA, and SD. I understand that the admissions are provisional so i need to know whether or not my failing of this class will jeopardize my official admission, or to what degree. Also, say the deadline comes and I have decided to accept a college’s offer of admission. When I report the grade (assuming its below a C), can i still get rejected? what will then happen since the deadlines for accepting admissions for the other schools have also passed? ANY help is appreciated.
<p>As with everything else, it depends on the school. A student in our town had his admission to Brown rescinded when he got a D in calculus. Probably you should contract the schools; they could tell you more than anyone on this board. Good luck; I hope it works out OK.</p>
<p>just need to maintain an OVERALL passing grade. one class won't break you.</p>
<p>That's not true. It has less to do with hurting your gpa, and more to do with how that class effects igetc or major prep. If you need this class for either of these reasons they will definitley not let you in. No question about it. If that class is not needed for igetc or major prep. you might still have a chance, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't let you in anyway. Here's what you have to do to avoid any of this crap: PASS THE CLASS!!!! Thats really the only thing you can do to make sure you get in. Just work hard and keep in mind the importance of the class and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info guys.</p>
<p>Conor: What is igetc? I checked google and it says Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, but I dont really understand this. I'm not a transfer student and only took this class because I wanted to add an extra class to my (in my opinion too lax) senior schedule. </p>
<p>Another thing: I'm looking at UCLA's provisional admission information, and it says that I have to maintain a B average and nothing less than a C. HOWEVER, it only says that I have to submit my final transcript from my high school, but doesn't mention any classes outside. Do I have to report the grades from the college still?</p>
<p>And Voronwe: say your admission was rescinded, then would'nt you be screwed over since it's too late to accept another colleges admission? then what would you do?</p>
<p>bump.. </p>
<p>by the way, voronwe, did the student receive a D in the first semester (midyear report?) or in the final senior year transcript? thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Drop the course. Better than taking a D or F.</p>
<p>The colleges won't care.</p>
<p>I agree--drop the course</p>
<p>Yes, schools can withdraw your acceptance even after you send your statement of intent because it's the final grades in senior year that matter. they want you to keep up to what they think of you and if you fail a class, bad news. so in other words, pass the class.</p>
<p>Do not drop the course
Take a W so withdrawl from the course.<br>
Having a W on a transcript is very common and wont be a problem at all. Having a D or F will hurt you for going to college next year and will hurt you when applying to Grad school as well as when you apply for jobs. Most grad schools and some jobs want a GPA that reflects your entire college so all college classes that you have taken from all schools. You do not want a D or F on that. </p>
<p>THe best thing to do is take a W, and report it to the school you want to go to next year. The UC's require you to report all classes you have taken. Youll be fine as long as you report a W.</p>
<p>for most colleges it probably is too late to take the W, but if it wasn't a withdrawal would be a good idea</p>
<p>bumppp. really need some feedback on this guys :(</p>
<p>Look, if you're taking it at a Community College, I assume it is an advanced course and isn't even a UC required High School course. It probably didn't even figure into your acceptance.</p>
<p>If you can withdraw, withdraw. Or drop.</p>
<p>You can report it and if anyone asks, you just tell them it was conflicting with your regular High School courses and that your first priority is to your High School courses. </p>
<p>Also, no grad school in the world will care that you dropped or withdrew from a community college course while in High School. It's not an issue.</p>
