<p>So I am accepted to Georgetown, before I even recieved my admissions decision I called and was told that it would be fine to drop an account class. Now I am finally seeing my final grades. I will have probably all B's and one C+ apparently. I just e-mailed the professor in the class that I got a C+ (a class not offered at gtown) because I feel that it is an error.<br>
But suppose that it is not an error will they rescind my admission's decision?</p>
<p>I was in a similar situation. In my case, I had withdrawn from a writing class. Upon e-mailing the transfer admissions director, she told me that she doubted it would make much of a difference. Similarly, I doubt that having one C+ will rescind your admission.</p>
<p>I withdrew from a class and got a C+ in another in B's in the other classes when both previous terms I had a 3.75</p>
<p>anyone else I am freaking out here</p>
<p>call them and ask.</p>
<p>What was your GPA when you applied? If it was in the B range, I don't think one C+ will be an issue. But no one will be able to tell you for sure. Personally, I don't think I would call to ask Georgetown. No need to call attention to it, imo. The difference between a B and a C+ is not all that great.</p>
<p>Here's hoping the prof will agree it was a mistake, which will help you relax.</p>
<p>The professor replied to a first e-mail and she doesnt seem to be thinking that it is a mistake, I sent a second any maybe she will have some mercy but it is doubtful. It is not like this is some easy class at least I mean I got a C+ in number theory (hard pure math class) which is incredibly unusual for a freshman to take.</p>
<p>When I applied I had a 3.75.</p>
<p>jim, I dont think that you have anything to worry about. A C+ is transferrable so technically they will not take your admissions away. If you failed you might have something to worry about. Contrary to popular belief, one C+ is not the end of the world.</p>
<p>i agree w/ b09</p>
<p>C+ in an incredibly hard not-typical-freshman class = nothing to worry about imho.</p>
<p>what exactly is number theory?</p>
<p>I will just quote wikipedia since it is a pretty hard thing to define:</p>
<p>In elementary number theory, integers are studied without use of techniques from other mathematical fields. Questions of divisibility, use of the Euclidean algorithm to compute greatest common divisors, integer factorizations into prime numbers, investigation of perfect numbers and congruences belong here. Several important discoveries of this field are Fermat's little theorem, Euler's theorem, the Chinese remainder theorem and the law of quadratic reciprocity. The properties of multiplicative functions such as the Möbius function, Euler's φ function, integer sequences, factorials and Fibonacci numbers all also fall into this area.</p>
<p>Many questions in number theory can be stated in elementary number theoretic terms, but they may require very deep consideration and new approaches outside the realm of elementary number theory to solve. Examples include:</p>
<p>The Goldbach conjecture concerning the expression of even numbers as sums of two primes.
Catalan's conjecture (now Mihăilescu's theorem) regarding successive integer powers.
The twin prime conjecture about the infinitude of prime pairs.
The Collatz conjecture concerning a simple iteration.
Fermat's last theorem (stated in 1637, but not proved until 1994) concerning the impossibility of finding nonzero integers x, y, z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for some integer n greater than 2.
The theory of Diophantine equations has even been shown to be undecidable (see Hilbert's tenth problem).</p>
<p>But if I only got a C+ I would not be freaking out, it is because I dropped one class got a W and got a C+ in another class and got B's otherwise which is much lower than I was getting before hand.</p>
<p>so after getting my final grades I got 2 B's and a C+ making this term gpa a 2.76 (only 3 classes because I dropped one and 4 is normal full load on a quarter system)</p>
<p>am I screwed someone please respond</p>
<p>Nobody can really tell for sure besides the school. Maybe you can call and check with Georgetown anonimously? </p>
<p>I agree with what a previous poster said: had it been a D or an F, you might have had to write a letter stating your intent to take steps to repair the situation. But you're not at an F, and a couple of B's aren't that big of a deal, either. What will probably happen (and please don't take me for an authority, call and ask the actual school you're transferring to) is, a) it won't even get brought up or b) you'll have to talk to a councelor, admissions officer or whoever is reviewing your final transcript about the sudden downward trend.</p>
<p>From what I've heard, rescindment is very unusual, and more frequent in the UC system than at private schools.</p>
<p>I think frrph is probably right and was going to suggest calling anonymously or even having a friend do it. I know you'll be worried until you get a real answer and that is probably the only way. Calling, anonymously or not.</p>
