<p>Im a senior and Im taking multivariable calculus at a 4 year university near me. My midterm is tommorow and Im honestly trying to study but the struggle is real. I got an 80 on the last one. Idk how Im going to do on this one. Probably horrible.
But since its multivariable calculus taken at an actual 4 year university, if I get a D in the class do you think colleges will rescind my acceptance?</p>
<p>I’d check with the U about switching to auditing the course if you’re finding it too tough and don’t think you’ll significantly improve. Speak with your instructor. See about going for help at office hours or having a tutor. </p>
<p>Some Us are ok with just one C while others may not be.</p>
<p>Rescinded-probably not, very unlikely–messing up your GPA for the next 4 years==YES. See if you can drop the class without it showing up on your transcript, today, now!</p>
<p>The college course taken in HIGH SCHOOL (which is what this kid is doing)…the grade will be part of the HS GPA, not the college one. Even IF she asks the college to accept this course, at MOST schools, the grade will not be used as part of the college GPA.</p>
<p>I agree with HImom…switch to audit. If you get a D, and it’s a required course for your college major, you will have to take it again anyway. With an audit you will have good exposure to the material for your college taking of the course .</p>
<p>Most colleges don’t take courses taken at other institutions before matriculation to compute your GPA but this might be a concern if the university that you’re taking the MV Calc course at is where you plan to attend.</p>
<p>In general, if you’re taking a college course and you don’t think that you will pass, it’s usually prudent to withdraw from the course to protect your GPA and perhaps your transcript. If you apply to other colleges (for grad school, transfer, etc.), they will want ALL of your transcripts for colleges and universities that you have attended and an F might be a problem where a W wouldn’t be as much of a problem.</p>
<p>At this point, I would go to see your professor, explain the situation and ask him for what he thinks you should do. He might say that he scales so that your 80 is really a 90 or he might think that you don’t have anything to worry about because he knows how you do on homework, etc. or he might recommend that you withdraw.</p>
<p>BTW, find the deadline for withdrawal so that you at least know when you have to decide by.</p>

<p>This may or may not be true. He could be taking the university course independently of his high-school.</p>
<p>At my daughter’s university, they did not transfer gpa, only credit prior to HS graduation, regardless of whether or not the course was applicable to their high school.</p>
<p>Some graduate/professional schools may ask to see the transcripts, though I’m not sure how (or even if) they take it into consideration.</p>
