I am currently at a D in my Calculus AB AP class and I just finished applying to different UCs and CSUs and one private. If I don’t pass Calc this semester will I not get into any colleges??? I have one more test and our final but I don’t know if I can pass both tests to bring up my grade. ANY TIPS??? -A VERY VERY struggling student

I’m not sure what type of schools you are applying to, but my friend and I attend a top 10 public university. Her senior year of high school, she received a D or a D- (not exactly sure) in AP Calculus and and E in another AP language class. The school threatened to revoke her already awarded acceptance, but she was able to justify it and remain a student here. It all depends on the school. To say you won’t get into college is a stretch; colleges will admire your effort in an AP course even if it results in a failing grade.

UCs will rescind your acceptance if you fail any class senior year, according to a counselor.

Rule of thumb: No D’s or F’s Senior year or you face being rescinded.
