Question about rescinding acceptance with a D in a class

<p>Hey,
my friend got accepted into UC Davis, but she had a D in her Pre-Calc class (1st semester). To make that up though, she is currently taking a community college course in Pre-Calc in which she will hopefully get a C, and she is doing a lot better this semester (she has a B right now). Will her acceptance get rescinded?
Or does UC Davis not care that much? Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Uh, prob not if her reason that she submits is good enough? They will likely put her on probation for this semester tho.</p>

<p>They have all the reason they need to rescind her, so it would be best if she contacted the school first and ask if what she is doing is acceptable. What WILL cause her acceptance to be rescinded is if she submits her transcript and they notice this clear breach of the UC eligibility requirement.</p>

<p>From what I remember last year, you are required to contact the school/provide I reason as to why you got the grade (D/F).</p>

<p>Um... her reason is that she had the same math teacher in 3 consecutive years (freshmen, sophomore, and junior), even though at first it was all good, in the second semester of her junior year her teacher went on pregnant leave, so that resulted in many different subs for the rest of the semester (who knew nothing about math). </p>

<p>And now her new teacher came from a school where she used to teach 5 students in a class, and now she teaches 30. Even the teacher's old students had bad grades in the class. </p>

<p>...is that a good enough reason, or does it sound like complaining? (b/c it sounds a teeny bit like complaining to me...)</p>

<p>Sounds like a good explanation to me. Most of the time, the substitute contracted by the school for a teacher gone on pregnancy leave is completely inept. I've experienced this 3 times.</p>

<p>Any change of coursework of D/F grades must be submitted immediately so that we have time to review and offer you the most options. Unfortunately, any changes or D/F grades might have an effect on admissions. Please report these changes or grades through the MyAdmissions site. If admitted you will see a link “Reporting Application and Coursework Changes” that you can click to report these changes. You should hear back from us within a few weeks.</p>

<p>she notified UCD after the first semester (..when she got her grade)... </p>

<p>but thanks for all your help!</p>

<p>does a UC usually rescind a student after accepting him, and then he gets a D in class?</p>

<p>If s/he has any discrepancies in the transcript (that wasn't in the application) then probably yes, b/c they expect you to keep it up w/ at least Cs. </p>

<p>Quite alot of people have had this happen at my school in the past years.</p>

<p>Even if the student has notified us before, we will require them to also file the coursework change form through the MyAdmissions site.</p>

<p>omg so unfair she gets a D in precalc and gets to get in and I get an A in calc AB and i get rejected. wow...</p>

<p>cryptcougar, get over yourself, it's nobody's fault but yours that you didn't get in. Deal with it.</p>

<p>Admissions takes into account more than just how good you are at calculus, btw, just to be petty; I got a D in Calc BC and still got in to all the UCs that have released decisions so far (except Merced and Riverside which I didn't apply to)</p>

<p>@ UCD Admissions, If I make a change in course schedule and I'm not rescinded because of it, will admissions still contact me? (so I can know that they actually got the change.)</p>

<p>yes, UCD Admissions, i made a change on MyAdmissions to a course and i have not heard back yet (i made the change the day Davis accepted me). whta does that mean?</p>

<p>For anyone who's interested, UCD decided to uphold my friend's admission. :)</p>

<p>forgot about this thread for a while, oops.</p>

<p>UC Davis got back to me right away about a class change (AP Econ to regular econ because not enough people signed up), within four or five days of filing the change I got an email saying my admission was upheld.</p>
