Would I have a strong chance of being rescinded if I maintained a high GPA before senior year but first semester of senior year getting a couple of C’s and A’s while also failing an AP class?
For the UC’s: All but UCLA/UCB, require that you maintain a 3.0 weighted GPA, no D’s or F’s Senior year. UCLA/UCB require a 3.0 unweighted GPA, nor more than 2 C’s and no D’s or F’s. Yes, getting an F Senior year in any class would be a reason to rescind.
If you get a D or F, then you need to contact UC admissions:
Freshmen: If you change schools, add or drop a course, or fail to earn a C or better in a course after you submit your application, you must notify the UC Application Center by email or postal mail. Your correspondence must include your name, UC Application ID number and your signature (if you mail a letter), and will be available to all the campuses to which you applied.
If you receive an offer of admission, be sure to confirm with the campus admission office that they are aware of the deficient grade or schedule changes. Although you must notify the campus of these changes, we cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after correspondence has been received. Make sure to save a copy of your correspondence just in case.

For CSU’s, they require you pass all your a-g courses Senior year and can rescind depending upon which course or courses you have a D or F. You need to contact each individual CSU so find out your options.
