<p>I have a C in Differential Equations right now. The class is INCREDIBLY hard, and while I feel that I could pull my grade up to a B, what happens if I get a C as my final grade?</p>
<p>I doubt you will get rescinded for 1 'C'. You may have to "explain."</p>
<p>u wont get rescined man, its differential equations, most people dont even take that, i think they would let u slide</p>
<p>as long as you're putting in the effort in the class, there's no reason why a C will get you rescinded. At the very worst, Duke would ask for some kind of explanation, in which both you and your teacher will write "well he's putting in the effort...it's just that the subject is difficult for him" and that will be the end of that.</p>
<p>agree with nmehta4
it's differential equations for gosh sakes</p>
<p>hi chong!
haha, chill out man, like everyone else said, you're taking
differential equations while the rest of us...aren't.
it's your senior year - breathe, have fun, live a little before
you reach the final stretch of AP's - and so if you do get rescinded,
what will happen if you know now? would you put in extra effort?
would you be able to change it? probably not.</p>
<p>so just do your best; if that's not good enough, you can
rest easy knowing that you couldn't have done anything
differently.</p>
<p>Yeah I wouldn't sweat a C. Multiple C's, or anything lower than a C is when you should start being careful. Especially if you're other classes are still challenging and you are doing pretty well. If differential equations is the only real class your taking and you have a C, that might be a little different</p>
<p>How low can you actually go before you're actually at risk for being rescinded at Duke? I've maintained straight A's the for high school but I'm at risk for getting a B in AP English Lit, which is sooo hard. Are you at a higher risk if you have a weaker application than your peers?</p>
<p>If you're worried about one B, don't. Usually it's around multiple (and I mean multiple) C's or anything lower than a C. And then it's not immediately a rescind, they usually ask for an explanation. So don't sweat it at all.</p>
<p>The threat is typically to discourage students from allowing senioritis to take over their lives and let everything else slack (which several C's second semester in contrast to straight A's before would show).</p>
