<p>I was accepted earlier this year with grades of straight A's in 6 courses and a B in Chemistry 12. I closed off my senior year with Calculus going from A -> B (final mark) and Chem 12 going from B -> C (final mark) and still final grades of A's in everything else. </p>
<p>I received an email today basically saying that they "regret to note the serious decline in your academic performance" and requested a letter of explanation. The truth is that I made a mistake of not balancing my athletic life with my academic one and I sent a letter basically saying that. Obviously, this is a fault of my own so there was no supporting documents to send to them as proof... Just an admittance of my mistake.</p>
<p>However, after a bit of research on the internet, a lot of people have been saying that one C should not be enough to be rescinded... </p>
<p>Could someone tell me what is going on and if I should be worried? Is it that common to receive these letters or is 1 B and 1 C that serious? Is it likely that I will be put on Academic Probation?</p>
<p>Note: I am a Canadian citizen with US permanent residency. (if that helps to explain the situation)</p>
<p>They’re probably just trying to scare you into not slacking off your first semester. One B and one C is incredibly unlikely to result in a decision to actually rescind your admission.</p>
<p>I have failed to mention a crucial component…
The grading systems are different in Canada and the US.
So Chemistry 12 grades - Canadian/American (respectively)
Term 1 - 83% - B/B
Term 2 - 69% - C+/D
Term 3 - 54% - C-/F
Final - 66% - C/D</p>
<p>I checked my other grades and nothing else is lower than B’s. So in the end 1A, 5B, 1D in the American grading system.</p>
<p>Is this the reason why I had gotten this letter?</p>
