<p>The two colleges I am worried about are UT Austin and SMU (w/ 30,000 scholarship), primarily SMU, however.</p>
<p>I got into both with 3.09/4.0 GPA unweighted, and 4.78/6.0 weighted, 35/36 ACT, and decent ECs.
I had plenty of Cs, plenty of Bs, and perhaps 1-2 Ds when applying.</p>
<p>However, this semester, it looks like I will be failing one class, and there are almost no grades left. It's Biology II AP, which is not a required course for graduation, but nevertheless a course among the 4 core subjects.</p>
<p>Many of my other classes aren't looking too good, and carry about the same pattern.
I have never failed a course before, so this will be the first and only, which is of second semester senior year.</p>
<p>Do you think I'll get my acceptances rescinded?</p>
<p>I’m sorry to say but I think there is a pretty high chance of this occurring. Is there any time for you to bring your grade up or perhaps beg the teacher for some extra credit? </p>
<p>You might also want to call both schools and explain what happened (come up with a REALLY good excuse.) I’m not to sure what it’ll do but based on what I’ve experienced seeing my peers, there is a large possibility of you getting your acceptances rescinded.</p>
<p>
How about you tell the truth and say you slacked off. With a 35 ACT there is no excuse for grades like that. You need to contact the colleges and see if they will allow you to enter on academic probation.</p>
<p>Contact the schools. You may be allowed to start on academic suspension. It is very likely however that you will loose any scholarship monies.</p>
<p>In any case, double depositing (per your thread below) at SMU will most likely result in you being rescinded, and probably at UT.
