<p>I received an "F" for the first semester of senior year. I know...very bad. I never failed a class until now. I don't know what to write. I need some help!! I need to write something very convincing so that UCR won't revoke my admission. I know that I need to explain why I got that F but don't I need good reasons? I don't really have any good reasons except that the class was just too hard for me and that I didn't understand most of the concepts. For those of you that needed to write about your failing classes, what did you guys write in the letter? Any suggestions?? Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone can learn concepts by reading a book over the weekend. Just write in your letter that you didnt bother to try learning them and you didnt study.</p>
<p>Didn’t you fail biology or something too?</p>
<p>If I’m not mistaken, isn’t there auto-rescind policy for grades less than “C” at the UCs?</p>
<p>write a riveting essay on how you poorly managed your time and underestimated the time necessary for the class. MAINLY, I would say talk about how you’ve learned from this experience and convince them that it won’t happen again. They want to admit people that they think will succeed- convince them that you’ve learned.</p>
<p>I tried very hard and study for every test! I just didn’t understand the lessons that he was teaching and our grades were based on quizzes and tests and I failed all of them. That is why I failed the class, not because I didn’t try my best.</p>
<p>If you tried your hardest then you would have asked questions when you didn’t understand things and made sure you 100% knew the material before you were finished studying. Good luck fixing the problems you made.</p>
<p>i was going to make a thread asking the same thing except that i have an F in ap physcis and im in my junior year so ya it suckss soo hoepfull if a got a 5 which im trying my best to i need some help in convincing them about this F i took especially if my aim is to go to BU or UCLA ! soo ya im going through the same process and i need helpp… please ?
good luck</p>
<p>Are you still in the class? Has your grade improved this semester? If your grade has improved, providing a letter from the teacher stating that is has improved to go with your letter would help.</p>
<p>If you dropped the class, you should tell UCR how you are going to learn the concepts you were unable to grasp. Have you hired a tutor? Signed up for summer school at your local community college? Taken an online course? If you haven’t done those things, I suggest you do so you can show you are doing something about the “F.”</p>
<p>Failing pre-cal and saying that it was “too hard” is a one way ticket out of UCR. Saying any high school course is “too hard” just shows incompetency and foreshadows failure in college. I’ve failed two semesters because I was lazy and I didn’t really care. Now you have to decide whether or not the course was really “too hard” or if you where just being lazy. If you choose the former, you’ll need a lot more help than a measly excuse on a college essay.</p>
<p>I disagree with Borb because there are some who simply cannot grasp mathematical concepts but are still qualified to attend college.</p>
<p>write about how you want to be an english or history major</p>
<p>According to her previous posts, the OP aspires to go to dentistry school. Ain’t looking too bright for her! :(</p>
