<p>I was diagnosed with a liver condition the beginning of my senior year. I was accepted at a state college back in April with a 4.09 Cumlative GPA and a 1250 SAT Score. I also faxed in a brief letter along with my application explaining my illness and its effect. </p>
<p>However, beginning my second semster in HS, my grades just started free falling. My conselor allowed me to drop all the non-core classes and placed me on the 504 disability plan during the second semster. The final report came out a week ago and I have a D, C and B for the second semster. I had dropped 4 classes as incompletes. It was a challenge just for me to graduate.</p>
<p>As it stands right now, I have a 3.0 weighted and 2.0 unweighted the second semster of my senior year. I believe I had a 3.8 weighted and a 3.0 UW first semster of my senior year. </p>
<p>I just sent in my final report in to my college about a week ago and now I am getting paranoid. My conselor advised me not to contact them at all as not to bring up any attention on my transcript. However, I am leaving the country mid-July and will not return until school starts.</p>
<p>SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? Is it safe to assume that if I don't hear something from them by July that I am safe? </p>
<p>Will your liver condition get better? Just something to think about...what if you cant perform once you get to college? Not trying to be a debbie downer just wondering whats up with all that. </p>
<p>It could happen however there are things u could do to lower the chances of it happening. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>From what I understand, ur counselor suggested and even assisted u in dropping classes, thus leaving them incomplete. I suggest u send a letter rom ur counselor stating that she did encourage and assist u in that decision. </p></li>
<li><p>Send another letter where u state why ur grades dropped. Ur illness was obviously a big contributor to this downfall and thus could reasonably justify the decline.
Attatched to that letter I would also submit a letter from your doctor or a hospital that could corroborate ur medical condition. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>That should do the trick. those letters should def justify the reason for ur drop in grades. As for ur drop in courses, thats gonna be a lil more difficult but hopefully the letter from the counselor can help u with that.</p>
<p>Have you fully recovered from your health problems? If so, I would send a follow-up letter detailing how your health issues caused the drop in your grades, and letting them know how/where they can reach you if they need additional information. (If you can get a physician to write a letter as well, it might be useful.)</p>
<p>dont send the letter until after the school threatens to rescind. your counselor is right, drawing negative attention to yourself is never a good idea and if it is a large state school there is a chance it might not be noticed. generally, when a school is threatening to rescind they will give you a chance to explain why your grades fell. that would be the appropriate time to send the letters.</p>
<p>Hi Guys, Thanks for all the responses, and yes, I am almost recovered and is doing great now. </p>
<p>One thing I am worried about is that I have to leave the coutry to attend to some family for a few weeks starting in mid-july and my whole family will be gone. Do you guys think they will have something for me by then?</p>
<p>If they don't...you may want to have some type of Plan B in place-ie:
Neighbor who picks up your mail might look for that particular university. Then they could call-email you when its arrived-and if you so desire--authorize them to open the mail in your absence. You might also have names/contact information for your counselor over the summer-so should this recession come about-you can then notify him/her-and have them send a letter as been suggested-along with a letter from your MD.
With a large institution, it may not hit the radar screen.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>So I got my second semster grades back and I got a D, D, and F. Although the classes are all APs.The F is in a non-required class for graduation.</p>
<p>And the worst part is, there are no one left at my school for the summer, all the teachers and conselors are gone and they won't return until 2 weeks before school start. There are only a few admin type of people left stuffing envelopes...</p>
<p>I have gotten a D before last semster and the college have seen that. I am now extremely nervous and the school is one of those huge state schools and my HS will send out the final report end of June. And I am leaving the country July 20th returning 4 weeks later.</p>
<p>I really hope I dont get revokved cause else I have NO where else to go!!! :(</p>
<p>i disagree with the others. send the letter immediately. if they check transcripts, the attention will be there anyway. if you send a nice letter of your own, one from your doctor, and one from your counselor if you contact him somehow, there's no way they would rescind your offer of admission since it isn't your fault. the appeals process is probably quite difficult, and i doubt they take any cases seriously since it's a big state school that has thousands of incoming freshman and thousands on the waiting list.</p>
<p>why don't you call the office anonymously and ask them whether you should send a letter? If they ask for your name, just tell them you'd rather not give it to them. They'll understand.</p>
<p>My opinion is that you should absolutely send a letter. I don't believe they would rescind after knowing the circumstances, but it will be hard to appeal no matter what.</p>
<p>D, D, F will draw attention to any school. I would not leave the country without having it taken care of. I would contact the doctor, the counselor for all back up information. Some school may require you to take summer courses to make up for those grades.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am just waiting on the reply back from Admissions at the State U.
I mean even with the decline in grades my senior year; my SAT score is still about 50 points above the average and the overall culmative GPA is also about 0.2 higher the average. This is a 80th US News Ranked school with a total enrollmend of 20,000ish. </p>
<p>I will definitely let you guys know what the office says. </p>
<p>I just faxed them with all my medical information and a letter; bascially everything I have. I think a copy of my 504 plan will also go out to them pending on the district.</p>
<p>Do you think they will rescind me? I am getting scared....</p>
<p>I wouldn't leave the country until the whole thing clears up. When you make 2D's and an F, despite what your college is ranked, they will notice.</p>
<p>I am told that I might need to go to the office to better explain my situation in detail? Any word on what I can expect?
I was told that I can go sometime on the day of my orientation.</p>
