I got accepted to the University of Michigan EA for the class of 2024. My first semester is about to end, and my grades aren’t as good as they used to be (3.9 GPA before). I think I’m going to get 3 A’s, 2 B’s, and 1 D. The B’s are in AP Calculus and world history. The D is the real problem. It is in AP Computer Science. I have no interest in computer science, had no coding experience before taking this class, and the teacher was on maternity leave for much of the semester. I know I messed up, but is it bad enough to warrant getting rescinded? What if I get perfect grades second semester? Thanks!!
A D does run this risk. If the grade becomes official, you should reach out to the university with an explanation. Better to find out now rather than later. If you’re not a technology major, the chance is reduced.

Yes getting decided is real. Maybe I don’t know much but it’s only late January. Doesn’t school go to like June?
Better get your parents, teacher, counselor on board. Have you gone for help with the current teacher? Can you hire a tutor or get help with kids from your class like peer to peer tutoring?
you need to get that up to a C. Just make it happen. No excuses. There are plenty of online help. Stop All ec activity. If you are on a sports team take yourself off. Your main goal is getting through this class. BUT you also don’t want 3 Cs either. Make it happen.
From U of Ms website. Revoking Admission
For what reasons does the U-M revoke admission?
Freshmen: As an admitted freshman, the University of Michigan expects all aspects of your academic performance and conduct in your senior year to be consistent with the record you presented upon admission. Any significant decline in your academic performance, such as three or more C’s, any D’s, E’s or F’s, may be cause for revoking admission. Declining grades or a significant change in curriculum may also be cause for revoking admission. Although senior year grades are reported directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (OUA) and reviewed, it is your responsibility to advise OUA of any serious decline in grades or changes in course selections previously entered on your application.
Transfers: As an admitted transfer student, you are subject to admission revocation if the course work you complete before your intended term of enrollment at U-M does not meet our academic standards.
All Admitted students: Admitted students have an ongoing responsibility to inform the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (or admitting office) of any changes to their disciplinary and/or criminal history until they begin their first term of enrollment at the university.
If you need to notify OUA regarding any decline in grades or changes in coursework, please email your admissions counselor.
I would contact admissions counselor!
