<p>Just found out today that i got the trustee scholarship. yay!! and congrats to everyone out there that got it as well! in addition to everyone else that got in!
Now that my giddiness has receded i am very very very stressed because i currently have a D+ in calculus (worst class of my life and my first b ever last semester) and im 100% sure i can get it up to a C but i don't think its possible for me to get higher.
Will my scholarship be taken away????
Will my acceptance be taken away????
Does anyone know anything about any of this? i know there are a lot of theories like the just pass your classes and your fine or just get all Cs or 1 point lower than your junior GPA, but has anyone actually heard about students getting rescinded or having scholarships taken away / talked to admissions officers at USC about this?
Or just any information at all would be nice.</p>
<p>All we really know here is what we can see on the USC Admission website-
[FAQs</a> - USC Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/academics.html]FAQs”>http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/faq/academics.html)
</p>
<p>Since they do not give a specific required GPA, we can only speculate. Personally, I have never heard of anyone first-hand who had his or her acceptance rescinded or scholarship taken away and I know plenty who received C’s. In my opinion, I think you will be fine. But…my opinion is worth nothing! if I were you, I would call admissions and ask.</p>
<p>get a tutor and try to bring up your grade as much as you can. If you could get the trustee then you should be able to handle it.</p>
<p>My friend got a D in Calc BC (final grade). She was revoked to UCLA and UCSD, but USC still kept their admission open. She wasn’t a candidate for the big scholarships though.</p>
<p>This girl I know got a D and USC put her on probation for a semester or two. All she had to do was get a 3.0 (I’m pretty sure 3.0) to get off.</p>
<p>When I went to orientation with my first son, another parent told me his son was a recruited Athlete got a D and USC was denying him. The son had to take a summer class to get the D up and then submit it. He wasn’t totally denied, just had to go to summer school or something. Perhaps it was because he was an athlete and needed certain grades to participate?</p>
<p>anyone know a definite answer?
I received the presidential scholarship and might get a C in AP Calculus BC so I’m worried. My other grades are three A’s and one B.</p>
<p>Email your USC counselor as sonn as possible and find out. They can tell your for sure.</p>
<p>If you got the Presidential Scholarship because you’re a national merit finalist, I think you should be fine for keeping your scholarship assuming USC doesn’t revoke your admissions. If you got it without being a national merit finalist, then I have no clue.</p>
<p>@longnguyen: How would all 3 schools know about the “D?” Don’t you only send final transcripts to one school?</p>
<p>My friend got a “D” and lost the trustee scholarship. A “C” should be okay though. Oh and he still got to attend, but he had to take out loans I think.</p>
<p>Just make sure to keep your senior grades to a C or better because that is passing and they can’t do anything about it.</p>
<p>I’m taking all of my classes at a local college, and I’m thinking of dropping a physics class because it’s interfering with my other grades (calc, etc.)…I’m an engineering major, but there’s no condition that I have to do this class in order to keep my admission. Would a W look worse than 2 C’s?</p>
<p>Is there a possiblity you could take the class again this summer to make up for the fact that you will have a W on your record?</p>
<p>no…I don’t have enough time this summer =(</p>
<p>If you take any W for a class my advice would be to make it up the very next semester. The 2nd time around find some tutoring to help you. Usually the science department has referrals for tutoring. Good luck</p>
