<p>So recently I got accepted into Vanderbilt to begin next fall and I also realized that attendance was counted for a lot more than I thought in certain classes.</p>
<p>I think I might've gotten an F in a class and a D in another. These are 1 credit classes. I have three 4 credit classes and I'm doing well in them (A-,A-,B+) and I have an A in a 2 credit but I'm super worried, and frankly ashamed.</p>
<p>I've already paid my deposit but now I'm scared that when I send my final grades I will get rescinded. Anyone know Vanderbilt's policies or if they do rescind, what were the reasons?</p>
<p>Most likely. One D/F is a question mark, let alone two. I would contact admissions and ask them. You also probably shouldn’t be going to Vandy if you can’t pass a class</p>
<p>Do you have actual facts to back that up or are you just contributing to me feeling like crap? Lol. But in all seriousness, thank you. I’ll call them tomorrow. I know, I really was stretched thin due to a lot of different variables and had no idea attendance would have such a heavy weight. </p>
<p>I’m hoping the fact that I’m not receiving aid will make me more attractive in terms of keeping me.</p>
<p>Did you call and ask?</p>
<p>What happens if you don’t have any C D or F’s but B’s. I’m a transfer student and my grades dropped. not to the point where they are C,D, or F’s but down to B’s. is that a biggie?</p>
<p>B’s are generally fine. Most schools will not give you their policies out right, but I know that William & Mary (for example purposes only), says that any more than one “C” will flag you. The best approach is to show maturity by letting them know BEFORE they receive your final transcript. There are some schools that are willing to work with you and allow you time to retake the courses during summer before you begin, and then you enter their school in the fall on a probationary period (this is the best case scenario). But…some schools will not grant any kind of second chance and will rescind an offer. They know that there are plenty of students on their wait list who have not allowed grades to drop. </p>
<p>When you do contact admissions, take responsibility for your actions. Don’t talk about not being aware of the attendance policy! That’s always discussed in the class syllabus, so although you could mention this being tied to your bad grades, just be sure that the blame lies with you. Apologize and let them know that you want to make things right. Ask them for that chance. They may say, no, but wouldn’t you like to at least know that you tried? </p>
<p>I really don’t want you to feel badly. What ever happens, it will be okay. What seems like a total tragedy at times can sometimes go on to be “the turning point” that made your life better down the road. We just never know how our lives will unfold. You’ve learned something and it will help you grow up a bit. I hope that they give you the chance to show that growth in the fall. Good luck!</p>
