<p>I received an F in AP Chemistry this semester and I'm really worried about having my admissions to Tulane University revoked. I have an overall GPA of 3.6, and an ACT of 30. I already had enough/more than enough science credits to graduate without the class so it was more for enrichment, as I really enjoyed my regular chemistry class last year, and received an A in that class.</p>
<p>What is the likelihood of my admissions being rescinded?</p>
<p>Everyone is going to want to know this, so I might as well be the one to ask: Why the F? And how about your other grades? These things will need to be known before anyone can weigh in, although I doubt any of us can say for sure what Tulane might do.</p>
<p>You’ve certainly put yourself at risk. An F, like an A, does not appear out of nowhere. What happened?</p>
<p>My daughter had wondered the same thing because she received a “C” in an AP class this past semester and was worried that Tulane would revoke her admissions. Any thoughts on that??</p>
<p>A “C”? No way. She is fine. In fact, if she manages to get a 4 or 5 on the AP exam and it is a subject Tulane gives credit for, she will get credit. That’s how it works.</p>
<p>Just curious; if this was a class you didn’t “need” why didn’t you know you were running that low of a grade long before this? couldn’t you have dropped it much earlier?</p>
<p>Thanks, fallenchemist. I thought that she was probably fine, but you just never know and she was in a panic!! She will be relieved.</p>
<p>CMB2728: She should focus on keeping them up the balance of the year.</p>
<p>AVHS Dad, this was a one-time thing. Had a B in the class and bombed the exam, as did 3/4 of the class. She was not the only one to end up with a lower grade. Kids that had an A in the class bombed the exam. First C she has ever received in her life. Believe me, it won’t be happening again.</p>
<p>Teacher sounds seriously tough! But truly nothing to stress over in the least. If that was the worst Tulane had ever seen from an accepted student in their senior year, they would be dancing in the streets! Oh wait, they do that anyway, it is New Orleans. Well, you know what I mean.</p>
<p>Okay FC, that actually made me laugh out loud! </p>
<p>CMB2728: When 3/4 of the class does that poorly compared to their norm, the problem is with the teacher. Do you mind telling us the subject?</p>
<p>Well…</p>
<p>I recieved a C for first quarter, and then I got a D for second quarter…</p>
<p>Then something reeeeaaaalllly bad happened: I got a 13% on the final exam, which was worth 20% of our semester grade. I studied pretty hard, but I obviously should have studied harder. I ended up with around a 58% F. </p>
<p>It’s bad, I know…But, what do you think will happen!? :(</p>
<p>My other grades were decent. Pretty much all A’s. My GPA for this semester ended up being about a 3.2.</p>
<p>Well, there is really no sense in us speculating. The fact that it is isolated to this one course is definitely a good thing, relatively speaking. Have you dropped the course? Seems like there is no reason for you to risk failing it for the year if you don’t need it.</p>
<p>The one thing I can say is that if Tulane does bring it up (and they well may not), take responsibility head on. There is nothing wrong with saying that you just didn’t get the material, but that you also didn’t work hard enough and now you realize it and learned from it. Since it is the only slip you had as a student, I would sure hope they wouldn’t derail this aspect of your future over it. But like I said, the last thing you want to do if it comes up is sound like you are making excuses.</p>
