<p>I was accepted into the Stony Brook College of Engineering for the civil engineering major, and I will be starting this fall. However, my pre-calculus grade dropped last quarter, and my final was barely passing. I am afraid that admissions will revoke my acceptance into the civil engineering program. Do they contact you and ask for an explanation?</p>
<p>Every quarter, my pre-calc grade was a solid B- (which was a class I switched into in the beginning of the year, if I had stayed in prob and stat, I know i would have gotten an A.) For the first 3/4 of my last quarter of senior year, it was still a B-. When we took the conic sections test at the end of the year, I did VERY poorly, bringing my grade down to a C-. Somewhere around 25% of the final was based on conic sections, and I barely passed with a 66 (D). If it weren't for this last section of the year, I would have kept my grade in the class the same, and would have done MUCH better on the final exam. I did the math (ironically) and my grade in the class will come out to a 75, or a C.</p>
<p>All of my other final grades this year have ended up as A's or A+'s. I just want admissions to know that my grade drop was not because of "senioritis", or because I thought I could get away with it, but because of a single bad unit in my pre-calc class, that just happened to be the very last. If anything, I had been trying harder towards the end of the year, but this one grade just didn't show it.</p>
