<p>So...I MIGHT get a D in AP Calc AB cause well...a lot for reasons. but i'm not here to make excuses. but ummm.</p>
<p>if by some miracle, i DO get into cornell ED, will my acceptance be rescinded?</p>
<p>if i get rejected, well, nevermind.</p>
<p>deferred, this will really hurt my chances huh?</p>
<p>ALSO, what if I dropped the class next semester? </p>
<p>WHAT SHOUDL I DOOOOOOO? DAMN ITTT.</p>
<p>ANY INPUT at all is greatly appreciated. i'm just...in a really bad mood and am really worried about not just cornell, but all the schools i'm applyign to now.</p>
<p>There was a kid who got into princeton outta HS(sports), but failed miserably all throughout senior year. He's now at Sacred heart. So it can happen, but I think you'll be alright. I would be beefing up the studying come AP test time though. At least grab some credit.</p>
<p>Is dropping the class next semster a good idea though? Because the teacher said it would be even harder since the material will be based on what we learned this semester.</p>
<p>i think withdrawing from the course is a better option , at least for college students ...im not sure how much it would affect you in high school admissions</p>
<p>the general consensus is if you have below a C...WITHDRAW!!</p>
<p>Schools always have the right to rescind your acceptance and they say that in their acceptance letters. However, depending on your overall performance I'm not sure that they would rescind an ED acceptance after first semester grades unless perhaps you were doing really poorly in all of your courses. After all, they know that by getting in ED, you've had to withdraw all of your other college applications so you have nothing to fall back on. I think I'd suggest talking to your guidance counselor about what to do. I agree that anything less than a C might be a sign that you should not continue in the class and maybe should drop it after first semester. But remember you've had to indicate your coursework for the year on your application so it might require an explanation to Cornell about why you are dropping this class.</p>
<p>yeah. i know. taht's why i'm worried. ED results come out on the 19th, my math final is the 20th. which is going to deicde my D or C. but my teacher said in his experience, finals usually lower grades. </p>
<p>mmm. I should have eithr 2 As and 2 B, or maybe 3As and 1 B other than math.</p>
<p>i really regret not dropping the class when i still could have. i can't drop it now because if i drop it now, it shows as a F -__-</p>
<p>password- if you end up with a D, you can maybe negotiate a deal with Cornell if you get in. For example, tell them that you will take the De Anza College math 1A or 49B class after school second semester, and hopefully you will do better (you should, since it's like going over the same material twice).</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don't ignore it and assume that Cornell will let it slide.</p>
<p>yeah, if i get in, i will definitely fight liek hell to stay in. </p>
<p>just a note to everybody, don't call the week after results come out. cause admissions office gets a week break after every decisions comes out and none of your calls are put through. AHH. i know that for sure =]</p>
<p>sorry, probably not the best choice of words. When I said negotiation, I meant letting them know what's going on, and what you're gonna do to "fix" the situation. They might be more lenient on you if you do this. I'm sure doing that is safer than doing nothing.</p>
<p>I considered dropping a class last year after being accepted ED. I called to ask, and they said that because they considered senior course load for their decisions, dropping really would not be a good idea. I don't think that necessarily means that you absolutely can't drop a class under any circumstances, but I would make sure before you do it. </p>
<p>I think generally you don't want to go below a C in any one of your classes. I was worried last year because by the end of the first semester I had a C in French, but I was fine because I pulled it up to a B and had As in all of my other classes.</p>
