<p>Hi was gonna be a freshman this fall, but i got an email about my grades dropping and wanting an explanation. Well to be exact, it wasn't my grades that dropped, I failed something called Senior May Project. Its a project for graduating seniors to give them some work experience so the school allows seniors to find work(unpaid) and do that instead of coming to school for the last 3 weeks of school. It's in pass/fail and I failed that. My grades are fine. No c's at all. That F went on my final transcript...and here I am now. I replied to the email but my first one didn't go through, so I ended up sending a response few days later than the deadline. Will this get me rescinded? I'm so worried....</p>

<p>Unless you have a good reason that you failed, you are at risk of having your admission revoked. Laziness or senioritis won’t be a good enough excuse.</p>

<p>Well i think this situation is somewhat different from most people. When people get those warning letters, they have grade problems. But in this case, the Senior May Project doesn’t count as an academic subject. Its just something people do at the end of the year. And it didn’t affect my high school graduation at all.</p>

<p>Yeah - you should be fine. Just explain but say that you have no excuse.</p>

<p>You had the option of showing up for class or getting a volunteer type job, you picked volunteer and then didn’t. It might not count as an academic letter grade but it shows lack of initiative/follow through and poor decision making on your part. None of which admissions will be pleased to see.</p>

<p>It is not a core class, so I cannot imagine it will be a problem.</p>

<p>My advice:</p>

<p>Be proactive and email, call, explain, etc. Tell them that you have realized the errors you have made. Tell that you greatly appreciate your admittance to U-M and that you will be a hard working student, an active member, etc. in the U-M community.</p>
