My struggle between Senioritis and Calculus

<p>After getting my last rejection from Berkeley, I have decided that I will go to UCSD next year. Since I already know which college I'll be attending, I have sadly caught the infectious Senioritis. Luckily, I can wing all my classes and pass with a C or higher, except for one. Dreaded and feared my many, Calculus is the only class that is holding me back from enjoying a relaxed senior year free from depression. I have prepared for the worst and accepted that I may receive a D this spring semester (I have a D currently). </p>

<p>In the case I can't arouse enough pity in my teacher to give me a C, what must I do to keep my admission from being rescinded by UCSD? I have heard that some people have done nothing yet did not have their admission rescinded. Is this likely?</p>

<p>Can't you just get your grade up?</p>

<p>Berkeley (and thus, I assume UCSD) has an agreement where so long as you don't have any D's or F's and maintain a B average, you're fine.</p>

<p>Seriously, TRY not to get that D. Ask your teacher for extra credit or something and go in for extra help.</p>

<p>any more suggestions?</p>

<p>OMG, I am in the same boat as you.</p>

<p>I have a 63%... but luckily, we have our class final before we take our AP test so there's time (before the semester officially ends) to do make up work... I'm just aiming for a 70%.</p>

<p>Maybe it's the same with you?</p>

<p>haha, yeah i guess you can say that.</p>

<p>I'm just having trouble seeing the point in working my butt off now. I got into a good school but not my dream school. So now I have zero motivation, other than to not have my admission rescinded.</p>

<p>I told a friend, and she somehow thought my stats were much lower, and kept telling me how I never stood a chance, and that even if I got in, I couldn't pass the classes most likely. That was helpful.</p>

<p>yeah thats pretty much how i feel... although i never really was able to let myself go all the way; i always had this innate fear that i had to do all my makeup work and have some sort of studying done.</p>

<p>I can't stop working hard because there's someone that's going to take my rank and even though it doesn't matter anymore, I refuse to give up my top ten spot. D<</p>

<p>Luckily, my school determined rank on February.</p>

<p>I also have senioritis and I currently have a C in Calculus. In every other class, I at least have a B, but Calculus is sometimes just confusing. My mind sometimes becomes blank when I take tests in the class.</p>

<p>My mind frequently becomes blank when I go to class. I'm not passionate about any classes anymore. I'll probably push myself to finish work during free periods, but at home I can't focus at all.</p>

<p>yeah this is basically me. i got into ucsd, not my dream school, i would have loved UCB or UCLA. now i settle for UCSD and find myself stuggling in AP calculus and AP physics. i have no idea why i took those classes, probably to stay competative for my senior year, hell it didnt pay off. im too anygry that i cant think. i hate calculus now because it requires thought and ap physics requires dedication. omg this sucks so bad</p>

<p>Oh wow. I feel so bad for you. I dropped regular physics the first day of school, actually in tears because I didn't even know the basic review information. Good luck...</p>

<p>We are in the same situation...</p>

<p>well good luck to everyone! (including myself)</p>

<p>how much of a drop will cause one to get rescinded? i have a 3.6 right now..</p>

<p>So instead of dying in something serious, I flunked my AP Lit class. My school doesn't have D's so i went to a straight NC. I really wish I got into UCB or UCLA too, but alas, that ship has sailed. </p>

<p>So does anyone know the likelihood of getting our offers rescinded? When I spoke to an admissions officer at UCSD, they said that basically I'd find out in Julyish after everyone submitted their SIR's, and if there was overflow, anyone who didn't fulfill the SIR contract would be dropped.</p>

<p>Right now I'm freaking out because I don't want to have to end up going to CC for a year!!!</p>
