How much trouble am I in?

<p>What would it take for Wharton to rescind their acceptance?</p>

<p>Here's my current grade outlook:</p>

<p>AP English IV: A
AP Macroeconomics: A
AP Government: A-
AP Physics C: A-
AP Calculus BC: C+
PE: A
Spanish 2251 (Community College Course): B/A</p>

<ul>
<li>Spanish is most likely an A. I put a B because I will not find out my final grade for another couple of grades. A 89 is about the lowest grade I can get, which would put me just below the A.</li>
</ul>

<p>All other grades are not final. I still have time to pull my Calc grade up, but I just in case I don't, would it kill me. My teacher is really tough and many people are about where I'm at. I believe our highest grade is about a 92.</p>

<p>You're fine as long as you don't fail or barely pass multiple subjects.</p>

3

<p>Are you pretty sure with that? The grade is in Calc and I don't want them to think I can't do the math (cause I feel I definitely can).</p>

4

<p>If you're in Wharton then maybe they would weigh a poor grade in Calc a bit higher, but generally you have to completely **** the bed in order for them to rescind your acceptance.</p>

<p>I'd pull the grade up anyway, though. If you can't handle Calculus you're going to have a tough time in Wharton.</p>

<p>I'm going to try to pull the grade up, mos def. Like I said, I don't think its a true reflection of my math aptitude, more of my teacher. People in his classes have gotten grades much lower than what I have now and still received 5s on the AP Test. The Math Department has the strongest track record on AP performance at my school.</p>

6

<p>Then I wouldn't worry too much about it.</p>

7

<p>I had several C's and many B's when I got accepted to Penn, and 3 C's for my 2nd semester senior year grades, including a C- in honors (not AP) physics. I got nothing from Penn regarding this.</p>

<p>The worst that they'll do is put you on academic probation when you get here, which means you need a 3.0 first semester. No big. A guy I know got kicked out of his insanely prestigious prep school for dealing pot and still went to Penn in the fall (seriously).</p>

8

<p>Ok, that makes me feel a little better, but I don't know where Wharton fits into all that.</p>

<p>Anyway, here's a brief update. </p>

<p>Final Grades: AP Physics (A-), AP Macroeconomics (A), AP English IV (A), Spanish 2251 (A), PE (A)</p>

<p>Pending Grades: AP Government (A-), AP Calculus (C+)</p>

<p>Gov is most likely shooting up due to a participation grade. Calc may move into the B range, but might stay right where it is (can't go lower).</p>

9

<p>You are definitely in OK shape. As long as you keep your grades in the B's and keep C's to a minimum, Wharton will have no problem.</p>

10

<p>they will understand. lots of people have trouble with calculus and it's not because of laziness. however, you need to make sure you are ready for the high level math at wharton, classes are graded on a curve and those asians are no joke.</p>

11

<p>As has been said before, you need Ds or Fs to get acceptance rescinded, but doing well in AP Calc and getting a 5 on the test will really pay off for you on campus.</p>

12

<p>Got the grade up.</p>

<p>So now the question is, do ED applicants send anything in after the mid-year, or is that our last official piece of the application process?</p>

13

<p>I'm pretty sure we'll have to send in our final transcripts during the summer...</p>

14

<p>Not for nothing dude, but lighten up, you're a senior. If you were deferred, it'd be a different story, but you're in, so relax and enjoy. Don't fail yourself, but don't loose sleep over this.</p>
