<p>I got a D in AP microeconomics. It was an online course and I got a lot of zeros because of technical difficulties with fax machines/scanners but the teacher is complete intolerant of any late work. I was also taught by cartoon characters...literally. Will this get me rescinded? My other grades have fallen too- to A's and a lot of B's. But I am taking a MUCH heavier course load this year. What will happen?</p>
<p>Hmmm well you will prbly get an angry phone call from Penn and a mean letter threatening to rescind you. However, I’d still bet they don’t rescind you. Don’t get me wrong, they definately might. I’m sure they have nullified other people acceptances who are in similar positions. If you explain everything though, you should be ok.</p>
<p>Just explain it to them and youll be fine. Have fun at Penn.</p>
<p>While a D certainly isn’t a good thing to have on a transcript, I doubt if they would rescind you for it. I’ve heard a fair number of stories of kids who went from straight As to straight Cs, or from As to Bs with an F thrown in. . .none of them were rescinded but they were all chewed out. I’m with Rtgrove; you’ll probably receive some form of warning but still be allowed to go</p>
<p>How do you even go from straight A’s to straight C’s? You’d have to get F’s on all of your second semester classes to get a C end-of-year average…</p>
<p>I’ve seen a person get rescinded for just 1 C, but that person got that from slacking off.
They couldrescind you for that. Probably not, but you never know.</p>
<p>^How does Penn know why a student received a C?</p>
<p>Students get accepted with a C or two, why then would they rescind for a C?</p>
<p>If you look at those accepted with Cs, typically those Cs were grades in tough classes – AP, IB, etc. If a person who always took the hardest course load (and got straight As) possible suddenly switched to all super easy classes on the last semester and got a C, that would seem rather strange.</p>
