<p>A D will be a problem. Call them and ask about it and do everything possible to get your grades up. It’s really late now but ask your teachers for extra credit opportunities or something to fix your grade.</p>
<p>As pointed out, D’s are significant and at some colleges will cause you to be rescinded. The thing you need to do is act. Sitting around hoping for the best isn’t going to do you any good. Get on the phone and call the admission office. It may turn out its not a problem, and then you have a load off your mind. And if it is a problem there may be time to do something now (take a summer class at your HS or a community college) that keeps you admitted; if you wait until the middle of the summer when they get around to checking all the transcripts and act it will be too late for any of that.</p>
<p>Ds can cause you to rescinded at some colleges. If that happens, you won’t be able to stop it, but will probably need to go to a community college, get good grades there and then transfer to the college that rescinded you.</p>
<p>Colleges figure that if a student is getting Ds senior year – while they’re still under their parents’ watchful eyes – the student will do even worse when they’re on their own in college.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the transcript sent by your hs will show the FINAL grade for each course for the year - most do not break it down by quarter. I would check with your hs to confirm this - and then look at how your final grades will look. Even if you get one D in the 4th quarter - maybe you have a c or B for the final grade.</p>
<p>Also, just contacting admissions in itself will be beneficial. They prefer honesty, and letting them know beforehand is better than sending them the final transcript as that could be considered deceitful.</p>
<p>Best of luck, and congratz on getting accepted at UM! It’s a great school. :)</p>
