How lenient for Dual Enrollment

Colleges and Universities A-Z Louisiana State University

<p>Hey. I an OOS student in high school. Anyway, my high school forced me take some college math courses since I had completed the highest level of math (AP Calculus). Since I was getting state funding for college courses, I decided to take an engineering course as a personal intrest.</p>

<p>Needless to say, I'm not the best math student, and I came out with some pretty average grades, that is, a B- in Calc. 2 and a C in Engineering. Again my high school is mkaing me take Calc. 3 (My high school requires 4 years of math.) and my college G.P.A. is around a 2.4 without a grade for Calc. 3.</p>

<p>So in order to meet their College G.P.A. requirement, I have to get a B- in Calc. 3. Its doable, and I am trying really hard to obtain such a grade, but I was wondering what would happen if I don't, that is, would LSU be slightly lenient towards this G.P.A.?</p>

<p>My high school GPA was a 3.6 last semester, and I have a 33 ACT. I did obtain some scholarships, and honors admission and I really hope that these grades don't affect them.</p>

<p>Kinda of worried, so thanks for the input.</p>

<p>Edit: Will they take into consideration that these courses are considered as some of the hardest courses in college? (Multivariable Calc is not fun >.<)</p>

<p>Second Edit: Will it matter if I don't wish to seek credit for those courses? I do wish to the math again in order to get a better grasp of it, and the engineering really doesn't apply to my desired major (Chemistry).</p>

<p>Honestly have no clue, which is why I haven’t responded.</p>

<p>But are you saying that your college GPA is a 2.4 and your high school GPA is totally different?</p>

<p>If that’s the case, I would assume they probably would just look at whatever GPA your highschool puts on your transcripts, so your overall GPA is what matters.</p>

<p>LSU is very lenient towards grades in tough courses. I got lots of Bs and Cs in AP courses and I still received the highest scholarship the school offers. You should be fine. They weigh advanced courses heavily. I don’t think they would penalize you for being so far advanced in math, that doesn’t make much sense.</p>
