<p>Okay, so this is my situation. I am a current senior I applied EA and ED for Seton Hall and TCNJ. I also applied to St. John's University. However, I am thinking of dropping my pre-calc class. I managed to get a 70 the 1st marking period but currently, I am failing. I missed the "class drop dead-line" and now I don't know what to do. It feels as if my precalc class is controlling my decision on whether I will get into college or not. </p>
<p>Seton Hall has already sent a decision to me but I did not receive it yet. What shall I do? If i Withdraw now, I will have a WD on my transcript meaning a Withdrawal. (I wish I dropped when I had the chance)</p>
<p>Is it too late for me to do anything? my mind if jumbled up and running everywhere. Please help ME!</p>
<p>yes previously and i actually cried with her. I will have to talk with her tomorrow. I am in the state of depression and anxiety. I am getting all A’s and 1 B in my classes besides Pre-calc.</p>
<p>I truly need inspiration and help right now. I am scared on what colleges will say to me when I call them and tell them I have a W on my transcript. Will they rescind? </p>
<p>PLEASE REPLY! I will need as much advise so I determine what I will do tomorrow at school with my guidance.</p>
<p>siliconvalleymom, unfortunately, this class cannot be salvaged but it is not needed for graduation.
If i told you my current grade right now, you would probably just jump right out of your chair. That’s how bad it is. I never knew that it will be this bad. I had my hopes up and wanted to keep trying to get a better grade. However, I struggled and flunked. And this class is a class for having a notorious amount of drops. </p>
<p>During the start of my senior year, 35 people were in the class. Now barely 13-14 people are there. I know I can’t blame the teacher for this but it truely is the teachers inability to teach. </p>
<p>What will I do for Seton Hall? They already sent me a decision which i still am waiting to receive.</p>
Can you make a plan to take it in the summer before you start college (maybe
at community college)?
Are you ready to write a letter of explanation to your colleges?
Can you do a great job with your other classes?
Have you spoken with your current math teacher to see if what is possible for this semester? Have you attended every help session possible?
Everyone makes mistakes. The most important thing at this point is to come up with a plan. If you must withdraw, find a way to take the class again, especially if it is required for your college major. Since it was a struggle, you could plan for a tutor from the beginning of the class so you could stay on top of it the next time. You can write a heartfelt explanation of the reasons you had to withdraw. Be honest and calm. Show some maturity in how you will deal with this. You can do it!</p>
<p>Windbehindwings, Thanks for the comment. I am just so overcome right now that I don’t know what to do anymore. I just hope that they won’t say that I don’t have a chance anymore for dropping a class. Seton Hall supposedly already sent me a decision letter. TCNJ and St. John’s is a mystery. Pre-calc luckily is not a require course for college or graduation at my high school. I want to major in Government and Politics or Journalism. I am doing very well in my other classes and there is no hope for me in that class. I attempted to get help but all she says is “I don’t reteach.”</p>
<p>Don’t lose hope! If all of your other classes are going very well, keep your focus to keep those grades up. It is common for high school and college students to run into teachers and professors who “do not click” with their style of learning. I think that admissions at Seton Hall, TCNJ and St. John’s will be understanding of your situation. Talk with your high school counselor and withdraw from the math class. Then write to each of your schools explaining the situation and that you are still very interested in attending that particular school. Also state your plans for retaking the class before (preferable) or after you enroll. In your letter, outline what happened with the course,
your talk with the counselor and your decision to drop it. Also let them know what you plan to take next semester instead of math. Show some responsibility and honesty.</p>
<p>My precalc class is a full year course. If i drop now, I just get a WD as withdrawal. Right now, I am positive i can’t make it through so I would rather drop. Is it better to call them personally or should I write that letter? I have heard nightmar-ish stories of students getting their offer rescinded due to withdrawal.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten a 70 last marking period but now my grade is just horrendous that most people would call it disgusting.</p>
