Likelihood of Being Rescinded at Yale for a Second Semester C?

Applying to College
1

<p>I was accepted to Yale SCEA. My first semester grades were fine but I am worried that I might get a C in one of my AP classes this spring. Still expect to pull it out on the final but just assessing my risk. I have a reasonable explanation based on an illness for both class midterms but I would rather not go there. All my other classes are As and Bs. Do I have a chance of being rescinded, deferred a year or receiving a warning letter as a result? </p>

<p>Anyone with real experience with a second semester high school C that then went on to Yale? Thank you.</p>

<p>Not likely.</p>

<p>A ‘C’ is fine just do not get a ‘D’.</p>

<p>Yale will not rescind you for a single C.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a real world experience as a student, counselor, admissions officer or parent that speaks to this issue?</p>

7

<p>Try the Yale Admissions office. They are the only real world source that matters on this issue</p>

8

<p>Yes, call the office! They will be glad to help you. Don’t rely on strangers on the internet for such a specific question.</p>

<p>What are the chances of a student with all A’s and one C on their senior second semester transcript getting rescinded??</p>

<p>Talk to your HS guidance counselor. In most cases high schools only send the year end grades to the colleges, so if that is a B you should be totally fine. </p>

<p>What if the FINAL grade on the transcript for an AP science class is a C?</p>

<p>A strong final exam has bailed me out from learning the answer to the question I posed! If I find a classmate with a first hand experience in the fall then I will post for the next cycle of anxious seniors.</p>
