<p>What cases would make Brown revoke an admission?
I was accepted but I’m kind of scared for my second sesmester grades.</p>
<p>My GPA before was a 3.98 unweighted, 4.2 weighted. I was ranked 5th out og 500+ students. However, senior year my first semester was a 3.5 with 2 b’s and one c. There was situation which my counseler clarified to Brown. My second sesmester calc grade doesn’t look that great though and I’m worried that if I got a C in that class, along with a couple of other B’s, Brown would revoke my admissions.</p>
<p>My schedule looks like this:
AP Lit
Adv. Western Civ
AP Calc
Journalism
Japanese 4
TV Video Production
Student Gov’t</p>
<p>If I were to drop AP Calc this semester would that be enough reason for a school to revoke me because my schedule would seem to easy?</p>
<p>DudeI'm also going nuts. I had about a 3.6/3.7 GPA, and then first semester I got straight B's, and now third quarter I got one A one B+ and a couple Cs. Some stuff happened, but ya, I'm worried about it. </p>
<p>Hopefully, we can stick together and Brown won't care.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I'm also in 3 APs and two english classes that count as AP for the juniors, but because I already took the same-level courses last year they are just honors for me.</p>
<p>From what Ive read you have to have a pretty awful second semester to have your acceptance rescinded. Like well under a 3.0, including Ds and/or Fs. Cs should be nothing to worry about. I dont have a definitive answer on this from the admissions committee, but thats what other posters have said. I was worried too cus its looking like I will have a C in calc, but all things Ive read indicate that a C or two are no big deal.</p>
<p>i called brown and talked to an admissions officer today. he said dropping a class was worse than a c because they assume you're failing to be dropping it. He said a C with a couple of B's could be shaky ground but not highly dangerous. I was told to write a letter explaining why my grades dropped and to send it in along with my final transcript and if I explained my situation thouroughly that i'd be fine. Hope that's the case. . . </p>
<p>how did you get to speak to an admission officer? do you explain your case and they transfer you? or do you ask to speak to one? the final transcript i'm sending them has a D. so i'm pretty scared. i feel like calling them to ask too.</p>
<p>i'm from singapore, so i take the a levels exams. i dont know how i got the D either, because i never see my exam papers after i hand them up, they are shipped to cambridge, england to be marked; and there isn't a break down of scores or anything. its a pretty huge shock, i was expecting an A cos I worked really hard for it.</p>
<p>Well I had a C in Calc II on my first semester grades. They saw those and didn't rescind my offer of admission. But I still have a 4.58 W so I don't know. Right now I'm stressing because my AP Lit teacher told us at the beginning of the semester that she does not give As under any circumstances and I feel like she's really screwing my on my essays just so she won't have to give me one. Should I explain this to the admissions office or will it sound like I'm making excuses?</p>
<p>Heh, I just learned yesterday that I am currently failing my Bio course. I'm getting As on all the tests and quizzes, but I haven't turned anything in since..... February? Most of the stuff missing is busywork that I didn't think there was a point in me doing :p</p>
