<p>An overload of AP classes combined with a slight case of senioritis resulted in very poor grades during the first semester of my senior year. I applied to colleges with a 3.7 GPA and a 2290 SAT score, and I now have a 2.4 unweighted (3.2 weighted).
AP Government/Political Science - C
AP Calculus - D
Epic & Myth - A
AP Economics - C
AP Chemistry - B
So the question is - how screwed am I? I applied primarily to the University of California schools, and I see myself probably going to one of them. But that can't happen if they revoke my admissions. What are the UCs' policies on senior grades and under what conditions will which schools rescind my admissions?</p>
<p>I believe that at any UC school you cannot have a D in a core class (math, science, english, etc.). So your AP Calc grade will probably be an issue. Not sure about the rest of them though.</p>
<p>I imagine that UCs may cut you some slack for your D in calc, since it's exceeding the a-g requirements (3 years required for math)</p>
<p>From what I've gathered here and elsewhere, UCs except Cal and LA won't rescind admission if you have a 3.0 or higher weighted. Cal and LA are 3.0 unweighted, I think. I wouldn't stress too much since the semester is already over. Just try to do better next semester and perhaps you will have a case for an appeal, in case an admission does get rescinded.</p>
<p>Best of luck! :)</p>
<p>I'm surpised that schools still have the grade of D. About 10-12 years ago, our district did away with the grade of D. 70-79 is a c; below 70 is an F.</p>
<p>yeah same here</p>
