<p>I don't think I'll be going to college. I applied ED to a school, and now I think after I'm accepted I'll get rescinded for bad senior grades. I know, I know, I should only be worrying about getting accepted first. But I just found out that you have to withdraw your applications immediately once your financial aid package suffices your need for your ED school.</p>
<p>So I think what is going to happen is: Accepted ED, Withdraw all my apps, Rescined app = no college.</p>
<p>I have straight As in AP Comp Sci AB, Graphic Design, Religion 4, H World Literature and 2 REALLY bad grades in AP Calc BC and AP Physics C</p>
<p>How bad is "REALLY bad"? Fs and Ds are definitely a cause for concern; Cs may not be as bad as you think. Remember, too, you've still got more than half the school year left. There's definitely time to bring up your grades. Have you talked to your teacher to identify where you're having problems? Are there any resources available at your school - tutoring, study groups?</p>
<p>I've heard of some kids in my area getting D's their first/second semester and negotiating with their counselor and teacher to move it up an entire letter grade so that their admission wouldn't be rescinded. Hahaha... that's pretty terrible. I suggest you work really hard to avoid those D's and F's and ask for tons of extra credit.</p>
<p>Two Fs in AP Calc BC and AP Physics C. Barely getting the Fs on a 8 point scale 70-76 = D, 69 below = F, 77 - 83 = C. Also the Fs are unweighted, so the weighted score (at my school) would be a C. But still, colleges will see "F" but a high GPA of over 4.0 weighted</p>
<p>..... Like I said, this sucks. I'm working on my second quarter & midterm to try and at least raise my overall average by the time I have to send the midyear reports out as an unweighted C. </p>
<p>I would recommend that you have the teachers of the classes where are you receiving poor grades send letters to the ED college explaining your grades.</p>
<p>I hope you get some responses from current college freshmen who can help you calm down. You are not the first person to go down this path. It's not the greatest position to be in, but DON'T PANIC. Face your demons: teachers first, then your ED admissions person once you've done everything you can to get your grades back on track.</p>
<p>Do you guys think I should wait and see what I get for my second quarter, and then talk to my two teachers+gc? My physics teacher would understand, and he is actually interested in me improving in his class, so he is helping me after school. I'm doing a lot better in physics - getting 100s on quizzes etc, so I know I can improve that. My Calc teacher recently had surgery, so we've had substitutes the past two days, so I can't get help from him. However, I am doing a lot better in that class right now (2nd quarter). Do you think they would (my teachers) request a grade change if I scored significantly higher in the second quarter. However, I'm pretty sure my Calc teacher won't, he is really mean.</p>
<p>Also I think if I drop the two courses now it will go as a "W" on my transcript... but idk about midyear grades.</p>
<p>if i were you i would alert both my GC and the teachers of those classes to my situation and the possible outcome (bleak as it may be). then, wait and see if you actually DO get in to your ED school. IIRC, JHU's notify date is the 15th, so you'll know very soon whether or not this will actually be an issue. </p>
<p>if you get in, let them know what you need from them outside of keeping your grades up.</p>
<p>if you don't, work hard on the grades and complete some RD apps.</p>
