<p>I just received my final report card today and got an F for fourth quarter in one of my easier classes. I had a trip that spanned half of the quarter and was told by the subsitute (the real teacher was out for the rest of the year) that I would be excused for all assignments, but apparently that wasn't the case.</p>
<p>I have As in all my other AP classes, and I still passed the class since I had an A third quarter, and an F fourth quarter, which averages out to a C for semester.</p>
<p>Is this grounds for taking away my admissions offer, and if so is there anything I can do to help the situation or explain myself?</p>
<p>Write a letter telling them the situation. Have you college counselor about the situation and have him/her do the same thing, that’s if it’s not lower than a C overall.</p>
<p>Yes it might be. Poor performance, even in one course, will need to be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Espeically a failure, even if it is just one semester. One’s admission to Johns Hopkins is contingent on the successful completion of one’s senior year and a failed course for a semester or lower end of the year grade is something the Admissions Committee will make sure to review. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, the F was only for the quarter and I didn’t fail the course (ended with a C for the semester). Does this alleviate the concern, if only by a little?</p>
