<p>Vandyboy, don't worry about it too much.... berkeley initially revoked rogue's admission because he can't complete the IGETC on time after that W... however, in your case, I think you'll most likely be fine... good luck to you...</p>
<p>I just got the lowest score in my university's history in the computer science exam (MY MAJOR) 6/100 I think I will fail this class and have my admission revoked</p>
<p>rogue...
congrats on maintaining your admittance..all my final grades posted and I barely scathed by this last semester w/ a 3.0 because of a C in stats. I know how you feel as this was the worst semester I have ever had. My daughter was injured and then a week later I lost everything in a home burglary including my two laptops w/ all my HW on them. Had I not passed stats, I would have also appealed and it's great to see see the system work even if it is a harsh system.
I'll see you at Cal...hopefully in the fall, but either way your still a golden bear!! =)</p>

<p><3</p>
<p>It's so great to feel welcome, I'm definitely looking forward to becoming a Cal bear :D </p>
<p>I'm terribly sorry to hear about the burglary, did you explain it to your professor? How has your case been treated? I hope they were able to do something about it!</p>
<p>all my professors were great except my advanced english class. I turned in a paper one day late becuase I was w/ the police that evening and was unable to go to class. It was the only class I had ever missed and he still dinged me points for turning it in late. He said no exceptions and I even had a police report w/ me showing that I was w/ them at the time class was going on. I have never experienced non compassion like that from a professor. Other than that it all worked out so I'm on my way to Berkeley this fall but man I cut it close this semester...too close, so I cringe when I see people who have to worry about their admissions being rescinded since they obviously worked really hard to get where they are now and to have it taken away for minor issues like getting a 3.0 instead of a 3.2 does not seem appropriate.</p>
<p>I didn't think Cal was that strict about the GPA though, at least from what I understand, you can't get anything lower than a C and have to maintain a B average GPA (which 3.0 should be ok I think).</p>
<p>Unless you're talking about other schools like UCLA, then yea :(</p>
<p>rejectedfromMIT: you earned your chance that every transfer students want and now you are disregarding it. why man why!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>MIT: you should really call Penn now and talk to them about it. Do you have a legitimate reason?</p>
<p>^^ seriously. i don't understand how somebody could let something like this happen. i'm in shock.</p>
<p>What are u talking about people I will definitely do my best to raise my grade in that course, but I don't think I will be able to get more than a C or a D+ now that I failed an exam that counts for 20% of the course grade</p>
<p>BTW what should I say to Penn if I wanted to call them? I don't have a reason except for that I applied to 11 universities and wasted a lot of time filling applications and not studying, and I can't even withdraw from course anymore</p>
<p>Regardless of whether your admissions status is fine, watch out for your parents. Mine blew the hell up yesterday when all my grades came out. In the spur of the moment, they started saying things like, "You really have no business going to the school because you could bomb out again."</p>
<p>This is despite As in 3 4000 level classes and As in every other subject (besides a B in chem). I'm going to call WashU and talk to them again. My parents are scheduling meetings with my school and everything. Right now...I feel that my life is spiraling out of control.</p>
<p>^^ LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL man my dad almost stabbed himself when he knew that I'm failing classes, but thank God I just spoke to my computer science professor and told him that I might lose my admission to the 4th university in the US and he offered me a make-up exam</p>
<p>Wow, no offense to your parents but that's over doing it. Being a college student, your grades should be your concern, and solely your concern. College level students should be able to analyze themselves, and make decisions in their best interest--just as a parent would have done when they were younger. </p>
<p>I think the bigger problem here is why you feel confident that your parents can gauge your future performance better than you can.</p>
<p>wow...
I'm glad I don't have to deal w/ issues like that, seeing as that I am not a traditional age college student and have a family of my own. My parents never went to college and when I was excited about getting into Cal even at my age, I called them and they really didn't care less. I guess it doesn't matter how old you are, we still look to our parents for approval even when we have our own lives, our own families and our own careers.</p>
<p>Wow MIT- that's really nice of your professor. I don't know anyone at my school that got to retake an exam b/c they were stressed. Good thing you're not at Caltech or MIT. Well if you can get even a C- I don't think they can revoke as you passed the class. But I don't know if a D will be enough.</p>
<p>I will hopefully try to get a B or higher in that course so that I can just relax...</p>
<p>I got a 2.3 overall GPA in high school and my parents never really cared. I got Ws and Ds my first year of college and I dont think I ever showed my parents... but they supported me the entire time and I didn't work and I was living at home.</p>
<p>I'm 21 and now I am going to UCLA in the Fall and it is entirely becuase I am self-motivated, not by my parents.</p>
<p>I actually was never motivated by my parents, I'm always self-motivated and my parents hate it because of the things that I go after (like applying to a tough school like UPenn, although I got in unlike what they expected) all they care about is getting a high GPA and making it to graduation</p>
<p>Oh, good. Normalcy has slightly returned. My dad went and talked with one of my deans and one of my teachers (one of whom wrote a rec for me) and both lauded me beyond belief. However, they both expressed massive disappointment at the grade. At any rate, I talked to WashU and they were pretty much like...uh...you're fine. So I'm OK now.</p>
<p>Random...but I'm really starting to like Chicago again =/</p>
<p>Dearsiryes - I'm sorry to hear you were having problems due to your grades. I really think you've done well, especially considering your courseload. Regarding Chicago, if you are planning on law or graduate school, I would recommend not considering it. The grading there is very difficult compared to most schools, and while you are clearly smart enough to handle it and could learn much, your GPA would suffer if you are receiving such a GPA this semester at U of H. WashU is a much more laid-back environment than Chicago that has comparable placement into top law/grad programs and a comparable reputation, not to mention probably a better social life. Good luck with whatever choice you make.</p>
