I got my first D ever during senior year, Am I pretty much screwed?

[kashman586]

<p>I got a D+ in calc and im worrying that all the UC's/CSU's are going to revoke any acceptance I get from them. I don't want to go to a JC, but I feel like that's where I'm going. Do I report the grade to the school's or what?</p>

<p>Dont send Midyear reports unless they ask for them, you will be fine.</p>

<p>What you do is, AFTER you get acceptances in, contact them and ask if your D+ will get you rescinded. While it’s generally good to tell colleges about things as soon as possible, in the case of telling UCs and CSUs about bad grades it is not.</p>

<p>^What Soccer said. However, a D does not mean automatic reject. They may give you a chance to pull it up second semester, or just not care at all, depending on the schools you’re applying to.</p>

<p>Agree, do not send midyear report if not required and if you do well second semester ( par with your cumulative GPA or better) I think you will be fine. I recently read a post in the NYU forum, student had a D… but NYU said they would be okay. </p>

I got a D in AP Calculus my senior year. I called to confirm that my admission was still good and that I would not be rescinded. NYU seemed perplexed and annoyed with my calling, and couldn’t understand why I would need them to check on that (those were almost their exact words, and I was forwarded six times), but they did finally say that they did not care and that my academic record looked fine and I could enroll. This D was actually in my fall semester senior year, but I had sent in my grades and applied before that semester was over.</p>

<p>However, it may have to do with how your class relates to your major. As a Politics/Film major I had no math requirement at NYU and there’s not really any practical way to connect calculus to my majors so that could have been a factor.

<p>I did read one post that a student was recind from Stanford ( and/ or non state flagship school) at the end of the year because of a D grade.</p>

<p>You think a student who gets D in high school deserves to go to a freakin’ world’s top 10 university? :-p</p>

I’m not the one judging on that, its the admission counselors who decide. Though I do know that no students deserve to be not considered because of such a grade. Apparently NYU thought the student deserved to attend.</p>

<p>They will find out eventually anyway. Get out in front of it and let them know in advance. They should tell you how to recover.</p>
