I’m a senior in high school and so far I’ve been passing all classes. But this marking period, I’m failing gym. It’s the first time I’m failing, would this have an effect on my college acceptances? It’s not averaged in with my other grades, but passing gym is a requirement for graduation. We have 6 semesters, and I’m only failing gym in the 4th semester…
Sorry, but how do you fail gym? You really need a good reason for doing so otherwise don’t expect many acceptances, and understandeably so.
The only way someone could fail gym is to skip classes – Perhaps your colleges will accept you (they won’t penalize you too highly), but honestly, why skip? It shows irresponsibility on your part to the adcoms, and sets a bad habit for college.
Relax. Failing gym will not break your application too much … but try not to skip next time, it’s really not worth it.
if you do not graduate because you fail gym, your acceptance could be rescinded because you did not graduate. I would call your admissions office to see what the policy is…
if you need to re-take gym in summer school, perhaps something could be worked out.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to find a way to pass gym? Grovel to the gym teacher if you have to.
It takes a lot to actually fail gym…to let matters get to this point does not speak well of your maturity and that is an issue that might trouble the school to which you were accepted.
