HELP! WILL MY ADMISSION BE REVOKED?! SO worrried

Applying to College
1

<p>I am going to a state school in wisconsin, not madison but one of the small state schools.
Not exactly prestigious. </p>

<p>this last semester I totally blew it.
ap macro- D
band- A
physics C
russian C
ap english B
ap stats D
indpendent study health - C</p>

<p>Will I be revoked? I am thinking of writing them a letter explaining what happend (working 2 jobs, taking an extra classs... ) and sending a letter of recommendation from my english teacher. Do you think I need to be worried? I am really scared right now but there is nothing I can do about it anymore but learn from my mistake..</p>

<p>I personally don’t think you will be revoked. However, maybe getting your English teacher’s recommendation would be good.</p>

<p>How is a letter from your English teacher going to explain the Ds in stats and macro?</p>

<p>Call the school and ask what their policy is for revoking admissions.</p>

<p>I would contact the office immediately to ask them. They may want you to take classes in the summer, put you on a provisional basis, or even have you attend a bridge program there.</p>

Call them and talk to them immediately, or even better have your guidance counselor call for you. Sooner is better because if you wait it will become too late to take a makeup class somewhere if that’s what they want you to do. And, should worst come to worst, you’re better of scrambling to find a schooling alternative in June than in September. 2 D’s is pretty worrisome and may very well get you revoked.</p>

<p>I suspect they will ask for an explanation. A good explanation has 3 elements: 1) I messed up 2) I’m sorry 3) Here’s what I learned and why it won’t happen again. So be careful about how you word this, should you be asked to supply one; for example saying you took an extra class to challenge yourself and better prepare for college gives one impression, saying a teacher was unfair and assigned irrelevant work gives a completely different and much poorer one. </p>

<p>Best of luck to you! Let us know how it turns out.</p>

<p>Agree with the above. A C or two is usually fine, but multiple Ds is pushing it. However, you’re much more likely to have your acceptance rescinded if you don’t take the initiative to contact them and work it out. By contacting them, you’ll show that you actually care, and you’ll be able to explain.</p>

<p>Admissions offices don’t usually like rescinding acceptances, so if you talk to them about it and handle the situation in a mature manner, you’ll probably be fine.</p>
