<p>Okay, I've asked this before but I have a little bit of new info and would like some more answers. So, I've been accepted to Davis but my problem is I am taking a community college math class this year. I barely passed with a 72% last semester and this semester I have a D with just a final left. I have contacted them 2 times now, the first time they only cared about my 1st semester grade (the C-) and told me I broke the contract of admission by getting a grade lower than what I usually get (I've never gotten lower than a B). So I wrote to them again regarding the chance I might fail this semester and they told me " I am sure you will be ok, but we really need to wait until you receive the final grade to make the final decision. Do your best!". I'm worried sick about this. I've worked so hard in high school with a 4.3 GPA, 360+ volunteer hours, a job, active participation, etc., and it would be horrible if all my work went to waste and I had to attend a community college because I didn't do well in a math course. My GPA besides this course in my hs courses was a 4.2 last semester, so I obviously didn't slack this semester, I just generally suck at math! Last year I passed the placement test with an above average score and got way too confident in my abilities, so I took this class and now I'm in trouble. Because I fulfilled the "3 years of math requirement" and this is a community college class, do you think they will rescind me? Thanks</p>

I understand your frustration and worry, but I doubt anyone can predict the future for you better than Davis admissions. And they said they don’t know for sure.</p>
<p>Part of the adult world is learning to live with ambiguity. Welcome to the future…</p>

<p>I’m confused - why are you talking a CC class? Are you finished with HS? If your GS GPA is 4.2, then don’t report the CC class. Most schools just require a final HS transcript and it looks like a C is not a problem - just a D.</p>
<p>From their website:
After admission
- You must arrange to have an official, final high school transcript (showing your date of graduation) sent to the campus where you plan to enroll. Unless a campus requests it, do not send a sixth- or seventh-semester transcript *</p>
<p>Before admission:
- If you change schools, add or drop a course, or fail to earn a C or better in a course after you submit your application, you must notify by mail the UC Application Center. Your letter must include your name, UC Application ID number and your signature and will be shared with all the campuses you applied to *</p>
<p>Your dilema reminds of a scene with Clint Eastwood (playing Dr. Hemlock) from the * Eiger Sanction *</p>
<pre><code> [attractive student approaches Clint at end of class] Dr. Hemlock…
...I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your course.
I've never felt this close to art before.
[Dr. Hemlock - Clint] How nice.
- But I have a problem. - How terrible.
If I don't keep my "B" average, I'll lose my scholarship...
...and I don't think I'll do well on your final exam.
I've gained a whole new feeling about art...
...but sometimes you can't put your true feelings down on paper.
How true.
If there was anything I could do to raise my grade...
...l'd be willing to do anything.
Anything at all really.
Do you realize the implications of that offer?
- Are you busy this evening? - No.
- You live alone? - My roommate's gone for the week.
Good.
Then...
...go on home...
...break out the books and study your little a** off.
That's the best way to maintain a "B" average.
Don't study it all off

<p>Maybe you should take this advise and work on on your final!</p>
<p>@LakeClouds, no I’m not finished with high school. I’m currently still a senior so I take high school classes, but at my school, they offer a couple of community college courses that you can take senior year along with your high school courses and I chose this math class. And I have to send them my transcript because I reported taking that class on my application, so they’ve asked to see it. And of course I will work on my final and do my very best, but my chances are slim!</p>
<p>What is the math class? I don’t get why your chances are so thin on the final. You should try to find a tutor - have you looked through the Khan Academy videos yet?</p>
<p>It’s calculus, and after calculating my grade, I found I need a 75+ on the final to pass the class. My highest test score was a 73 this semester and the rest were D’s even though I study so hard, so you could see why I don’t think I can score high on the final. I have looked at the Khan academy at the beginning of first semester, but forgot about it, thanks for reminding me!</p>
<p>I really don’t think they would rescind over one grade in a calculus class. A lot of people struggle with calculus and it’s not a required hs class. I’d work some practice problems and shore-up the areas you’re strugging with and you might surprise yourself on the final.</p>
<p>That’s what I keep telling myself, thank you :)</p>
<p>Okay, I just wanted to update in case anyone is in the same position. I ended up failing the class with a D but Davis allowed me to keep my admission as long as I have over a 3.0 which is no problem for me. So I’m really happy and excited for college!</p>
<p>Out of curiousity, when do hs students HAVE to send a CC transcript to their future college? If a student graduates from HS, sends his HS transcript, matriculates, and then sends that CC transcript sometime next year, what would happen?</p>
<p>Mom2, at the HS in our town those grades are reported on the HS transcript (hence the term dual credit) but many of our students graduate with a considerable number of college credits-both of my kids accumulated 50+. They wanted to send their college transcripts so that they could get credit at the matriculated college for the basics that they were able to get out of the way.</p>
<p>According to [Transcript</a> submissions | UC Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/transcript-submissions/]Transcript”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/transcript-submissions/) the UC schools have to get your final transcripts by July 15. If you did not send them they would put a hold on your records and you would not be able to register for class. That would probably be the best case scenario. Worst case they rescind you for not complying with the rules</p>
<p>Here is what one UC schools says on its website. All the UC’s probably have something similar. “All offers of admission are provisional until your test results and official final high school transcript (and college transcript, if applicable) have verified your self-reported academic data.”</p>
<p>From anecdotal evidence, Davis is not likely to rescind your acceptance.</p>
<p>What did you talk about when you told them you got a D</p>
