<p>I got into VT with a 3.46 academic gpa
but now my final transcript seems to turn out to a lower gpa than that...
plus for some reason my ap chemistry grade is an "f" for this quarter
any possibilites of VT withdrawing their offer?...
I already did the deposit but just hate the possibility that
they might withdraw from me the last day..
any advices?....
thanks</p>
<p>It’s called being rescinded, not a withdrawal. Are your quarter grades sent on final transcript in June? Not all schools include all 4 quarters on transcript (on final). My son’s school does include all four quarters, but some schools only have one final grade on transcript, so you need to find that out. I would say an F may cause you to be rescinded, however if you are able to pull that class up to a final B (or A!) you may be alright even if they see the 3rd quarter F. You may need to come up with a back up plan if you are rescinded (CC? Gap year?). Some feel it’s a good idea to let the admissions office know now that you are working on pulling this grade up and it shows a level of maturity/responsibility. They’d rather you bring it up then they have to call you up in June when they get the “surprise” transcript. Talk to your counselor who may have some experience with VT already.</p>
<p>my counselor says as long as if I don’t end up getting a final grade as an “f”
(I had a c+ 3rd and a current “f” for 4th right now…which would probably stay that way…
anyway I’d probably end up getting a “d”)
most of the times college administrators would just slip it through once I got in…
so I shouldn’t worry too much… I guess??..</p>
<p>Never, never good to get an “f”. This will need to be explained, and cured if you can (wo)man up to it. I mean really, you slacked off beyond belief.</p>
<p>I’d suggest you go to the AP Chem teacher and ask for remediation of the grade through a special project, request to re-take exams. If you cheated and that’s why you got the “f” then there is nothing you can do and you will have to explain it to the college. </p>
<p>Penance is of value in life. Our culture is tightening up judgement wise on actual and perceived wrongs. This is having widespread ramifications on high school and college students. In part, I believe it is because people are angry about our Great Recession and who got away with things and who didn’t. </p>
<p>Admit your wrongs, bring up contrition and ask to be allowed to do penance. And learn from this by all means.</p>
<p>^^Interesting analysis on our current culture. AGREE! I don’t know how much time you have to bring up the final grade, but you need to ask to talk to your teacher about this grade asap. Their “listening” will be filtered through lost respect for you due to the slip in your grade, so this means you need to go in with a humble and mature attitude. There’s no way to explain a drop this significant, so you need to say, “I know I can only blame myself here, but please give me a chance to bring this grade up”. You need to ask for extra credit, special projects, test retakes for partial credit, what ever this teacher will offer you (if anythiing), TAKE IT with total shown gratitude. Then turn in A quality work. You have to at least bring this up to a C. Believe me, I have no judgment here. I was on academic probation my freshman year of college. I understand how you got here all too well. But do take accountability for this one --it will get you further out of this hole than giving excuses right now. Good luck!</p>
<p>so you guys think I have a legetimate chance of getting denied on the last day?
damm… btw just got a spot into engineering !!!</p>
