<p>I was accepted to USC and just recently sent in my enrollment.</p>
<p>I'm now worried about it getting rescinded.</p>
<p>Info:
I'm taking 6 AP's right now and last semester I made 3 A's and 3 B's.</p>
<p>The problem is my second semester grades.
Right now, worst case scenerio, I will get: C,D,C,B,B,B (The first three would be in Calc, Stat, and Envo)
Some unfortunate events occured (We had a teacher leave in the middle of a grading period which caused everyone to get bad grades. Another class -the teacher caught me cheating and gave me an F for a nine weeks, which lowered my semester grade.)</p>
<p>So, am I in really big trouble?
How bad do grades have to be to get an admission rescinded?
(Oh, and it's possible that 2 of those B's turn into A's. How much would this help?)</p>
<p>I'm REALLY worried/scared so please help. </p>
<p>Have any of you heard of people gettign thei admissiosn rescinded because of 2nd semester grades? If so, what were their grades?</p>
<p>I really don't know for sure... but my math teacher was talking about something like this. She said if you think you'll have some problems with grades, then don't try to keep it quiet or a secret since the college will know about it eventually. The best way for you to do is call them up and tell them truthfully about your situation and ask them what to do in order to not get your admission rescinded. I heard they sometimes tell you to make the class up during summer in community college or something.. Im not too sure of that. But i say definitely call them and ask them about it.</p>
<p>If those are the grades, your decision can definitely be rescinded. USC is very strict as to how close to your previous GPA your grades must be and how far away they can deter.</p>
<p>Is there actuall proof that the student cheated or just the teacher's word, and if just the teacher's word, what were the circumstances and was it a teacher that wrote a reccomendation</p>
<p>I think USC will let just one D slide by, but beware. They might ask you for an explanation, and if you are honest in mentioning the cheating incident they could be harsh on you.
What makes you so sure, since you're not even going to USC? (Sorry, but since you're committing to UCLA, don't expect us to be so nice to you anymore)</p>
<p>^ That is where you make your mistake. What does this rivalry entail but arguments and bitterness? Rather than becoming hostile, you should be more open-minded. If only you could understand why I made my decision...</p>

What an immature comment, typical USC!

At least I'm not spoiled like you, with everything handed to you on a golden plate. I have to work to be here, kid. It's a tough life that an immature person could not survive.</p>
<p>I hate to make things sound bleak, but I know one kid who got his USC admission rescinded due to one C in his AP Biology class the second semester of his senior year. I even read the official letter myself.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to write them a letter explaining the situation.</p>
<p>I'd definitely try REALLY HARD to work with all your current teachers to bring up your grades. I'd also call USC & find out what their official policy is--I know Bs are generally OK. My son was accepted with 2 Cs in his junior year, so I assume that's not necessarily a deal-breaker, at least if there are a lot of other things you bring to the school. A "D" and being caught cheating are pretty serious. Perhaps you can speak with your GC & figure out what the best approach to take might be. I'd make an appointment & speak with the GC at your HS immediately for "damage control." Good luck & let us know what s/he says.</p>
