<p>I'm a senior right now in High School, got accepted to UNCA, and senioritis is kicking in full swing. I have been in all IB classes since middle school up until this year where I decided to take all AP classes. I have a 3.71 GPA and some of my AP classes I'm taking right now are absolutely kicking my ass. I have a few D's right now in AP classes that I recently realized aren't even needed for me to graduate and I have a couple solid A's in other AP classes. I know that revoked acceptances can be a big deal at schools like Stanford and Harvard where even a single C can put you at risk of academic probation. My question is how strict is UNCA on final year transcripts? I definitely fear getting my acceptance revoked, am I worrying too much?</p>
<p>D’s are bad at most colleges. You should call UNCA and talk over your situation. I guarantee you that there are more options to reach an accomodation (perhaps repeating a class over the summer or taking a substitute), should one be needed, now then their will be when they see your final transcript in the middle of the summer.</p>
<p>D’s are a serious issue, you should be worrying. More that one D is disastrous. I would talk to your GC and follow the advice above. You should not have to worry about a C. You need to do everything you can to pull off a C. Find out if it is possible to drop a class without an F.</p>
<p>edit to add: check your admissions letter for conditions </p>
<p>UNC Asheville’s website says “you must submit a final high school transcript showing your date of graduation, final grade-point average and class rank”. This makes it sound like that they are looking at GPA rather than senior grades.</p>
<p>They will definitely look at the grades too as it is on the transcript.</p>
<p>
You trying hard to rationalize your way out of this. </p>
<p>You are likely in a bad way here. Now you face a choice. You can do the mature thing which is to face up to your problems, call UNCA and find out what they will do if you get D’s. Should your admission be threatened, now is the time in which there still may be alternatives to keep it. </p>
<p>Or you can spin things and tell yourself they won’t look at your grades, you can bury your head in the sand and wait until August to see what they will do. </p>
<p>Either way life is fair since you make the decision and live with the consequences.</p>
<p>Don’t kid yourself. D’s can be a big problem. You need to get your act together now and raise the grades before your final transcript gets sent out.</p>
<p>Besides, if you give yourself permission not to worry about your grades now because of senioritis, next fall you’ll give yourself permission to not focus on grades while you establish a social life, and then the semester after that…slippery slopes can lead to big falls.</p>
