<p>Hi Mos,
Are your GPA’s you are showing already contain all those Cs from the fall semester senior year? Also have you been accepted by any of these schools yet; if so that would increase your chances of not being revoked? It does not look good for you. If you think your grades are improving in the present spring semester (getting at least B’s in most of the classes) I would then contact the admissions officer on the phone at these colleges and try to explain to them what happened; and beg to get in saying that you have learned your lesson. I would defiantly look at fall back colleges now if you want to get away from home; there are plenty of colleges out there that you would qualify for. Take action Mos!</p>
<p>Remarks below address Chapman U & the University of California campuses in regards to getting one D but not without some B’s; as well as other colleges in general:</p>
<p>Every high school student applying to any University must turn in their fall & spring senior year semester grades for review by admissions. If you end up with a D or F in your spring semester your acceptance can be revoked by admissions; although receiving one D will most likely not lead to revocation at Chapman University.
ALTHOUGH: With admissions to Chapman U getting more difficult and desirable each year I do not think it is no longer safe to say this year that your admissions would not get revoke for receiving one D in your senior spring semester at high school. If you received a D in AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Economics, AP Physics or AP Chemistry and you were accepted into Dodge College you are safe I am almost sure. But if you were accepted as a science or business major at Chapman U revocation of your admissions is very possible and you are playing with fire.</p>
<p>The problems I seen over and over again is a senior ending up with D in an AP Calculus, AP Chemistry…etc class in the spring semester because many students experience senioritis and stop studying during the first 6 weeks of the senior year’s spring semester. They know they are in trouble and it is very hard for them to catch up at that point. It is my understanding that all University of California campuses will revoke ones admission for any D. This is not the case at Chapman and many other universities and will not revoke for one D. </p>
<p>Many students mistakenly believe that preparing for college ends after the 11th grade or the first semester of senior year. However, senior year — the entire senior year — is actually of particular interest to colleges.</p>
<p>Many college applications require you to list your senior courses, including information about course levels and credit hours. It will be obvious to admission officers if you’ve decided to take the year off or if you try to drop a class.</p>
<p>As part of the application process, many colleges include a midyear grade report form. Your counselor completes this form with first-semester grades and sends it to the colleges to which you’ve applied. It then becomes a crucial part of your application.</p>
<p>Often, college acceptance letters include warnings to students such as “Your admission is contingent on your continued successful performance.” This means colleges reserve the right to withdraw your offer of admission should your senior year grades drop. Colleges ask high schools to send them the final, year-end transcripts of the students they’ve accepted. Again, a senior slump will be obvious.</p>
<p>Again dropping a spring semester class that you listed on your application is not an option unless you get approval first from the University. It is considered that you failed the class.</p>
