<p>Since being accepted and decided to attend PSU,
I am enjoying my 2nd semester becuz I'd never enjoyed this much free time.
Grades for other classes are all A, except AP Economics class.
It's D...:((
I don't spend my time at all to study AP Economics class tests.
I just feel so lazy and don't wanna study at all.
(btw my major is not related to economics at all..)</p>
<p>My friend told me that PSU admission all watches senior 2nd semester transcripts..
and if the student gets D or F, there is a possibility that admission be revoked.
Is it true? I am really regretting..if it does, ill try my best to recover my grade..</p>
<p>I pretty much have the same exact situation as you. I’m technically almost failing this quarter of AP economics. I really wouldn’t be worried about it to be honest. Besides it’s an AP top anyway so there’s some weighting involved.</p>
<p>Also I’ve looked up a lot about rescinding in PSU and it seems like there is little to no information about it.</p>
<p>Well, I wouldn’t be so ( actually not at all ) happy if my D decided to slack off that much! You’ve come so far …Why (possibly) ruin your future at this point? Get back on track! </p>
<p>That’s common policy - but that’s ONLY final grades. A final grade of D means you didn’t pass a course and in many cases that’s sufficient. How necessary the class is for graduation is weighted heavily.
Did you friend get “a D” (quarter grade) or a FINAL grade? Very different situation.</p>
<p>Youre treading on thin ice earning a D. PSU does look at final transcripts to ensure graduation, and while general consensus is just dont fail things, a D is getting you pretty close</p>
<p>I don’t think PSU ever explicitly states final transcripts for first year applicants are required. I’m assuming that if you send it, PSU would use it to confirm graduation. If you don’t, they contact your high school or guidance counselor to confirm that you graduated. As for the actual senior grades, although PSU probably wouldn’t like to admit it, I think PSU doesn’t bother with review of poor academic performance for rescindment purposes.</p>
<p>Anyone here have official information from PSU?</p>
<p>MYOS，thats total BS. You dont know that. Nobody here can give you an exact “secure” grade. We are all students. We get our information from the same source pretty much. So chill out. </p>
<p>I’m not a student.
Students don’t send the final transcript - guidance counselors do. It’s a requirement to confirm you didn’t get D’s/Fs and graduated. At large schools, you’re right, they don’t review everything, but, say, a D in a required class or any F would raise red flags.
If you get an F or D in a course required for graduation (as your yearly grade, not quarter grade - LOTS of seniors get low grades third quarter and no one knows about it as long as they get a C or more for their final grade), you will be rescinded.
To get into Penn State UP, you provide your 9-11 transcripts and your admission is based off that, however your counselor can send (or be asked to send) a midyear transcript. The expectation is that the midyear transcript will show A’s and Bs. If a midyear B turns into a final D, you can imagine why there’d be concern.
If your high school considers a D passing then it probably wouldn’t be so bad, but if a D means you didn’t get a required course and won’t graduate
You can’t start at Penn State (any campus) if you didn’t graduate high school - you need to make up the missing credits over the summer or defer enrollment. You MUST provide a proof of graduation in order to be allowed to enroll. Typically, this is done when your guidance counselor submits the final report indicating you completed all classes required for graduation. Partner schools submit this electronically for all admitted students from their school and yes, there are so many freshmen that there’s no thorough review, but it’s still checked.
Note that it doesn’t apply to classes like shop, band, PE, etc.</p>
