(tagged) Will my admission to Hopkins be rescinded for having 3 C's??

Applying to College

<p>I realized the first time I posted this that people probably wouldn't find it if I didn't tag it, or put things into the title people would search for...
here's the repost.
I was accepted to JHU regular decision in the Engineering School. My cumulative before this year 3.79, and with the mid year it was 3.84, but my final transcript grades are killing me. I thought I could scrap by on 2 C's, but one of my teachers is being really difficult and now I have 3. The thing is, I'm also in Peabody under the double degree program and I've taken 2 music periods for the past 2 years, and music isn't considered a "core" class (I don't think). So the A's I got in those classes won't really count and I'm taking an Independent Study in Math studying Diff Eq and Linear Algebra, and I don't know if that counts as a "core class" either. In my 4 other classes I have 3 C's and 1 B.</p>

<p>AP Spanish Language - C
AP Physics C Mechanics - B
AP English Literature - C
Honors Modern World - C</p>

<p>Independent Study - A
Men's Chorus - A
Honors Chambers Chorus - A</p>

<p>The thing is, the reason those grades is dropped is because my parents have been fighting at home and it's been tough to concentrate these days. The thing is I haven't told anyone because it's really uncomfortable (it's even hard to post this anonymously) and I don't know if JHU will just take my word for it...Also I took Physics without taking Honors and the course got a lot harder than I expected it to be.
If I get rescinded, I don't know what I'll do, with grades like these, I don't think I can reapply and get in again. I really don't want to be rescinded, do you guys think this is a big deal?</p>

<p>Well, it is pretty significant. Hard to say if you will get rescinded for sure, since I’m not too experienced with the whole college thing myself. However do not worry, it’s not the end of the world. You can always transfer. </p>

<p>Another good idea is to address the problem, and then say a)the cause and b)the impact. Say that there was a lesson to it, etc.</p>

<p>Well like it depends on what your other stats are.</p>

<p>i doubt you’ll get rescinded</p>

<p>The two C’s are in AP courses and the other in Honors, so Hopkins may take that into consideration. There is a possibility, but just pray. Nothing you can do now that school is over to change your grades(well i assume your school is out for the summer like here in my state)</p>
