<p>My grades have gone down quite a bit this last year. </p>
<p>I used to have all A's. </p>
<p>Last semester I got 3 B's and one A.</p>
<p>This semester I got 1 a, 2 B's, and 1F. </p>
<p>The F is in AP lit.</p>
<p>My excuses:
That was the only class I wasn't taking an AP test in so I didn't care for it (already had the credit from Lang last year)
I was busy self-studying AP Physics C: Mechanics. </p>
<p>Do you guys think my acceptance will get rescinded? I'm really worried.</p>
<p>And F? In English? It’s not good, I can tell you that. And really, when it comes to high school not caring should land you a B at worst… an F is beyond not caring. In fact, I found English to be one of the easiest classes to BS, and it’s my third language, and I hate writing. If you have problems BSing essays, then college writing classes will be quite painful for you.</p>
<p>Good writing skills is easily one of the most important attributes an applicant can have, and if you demonstrate a lack of it… well, good luck, I suppose.</p>
<p>Hurry and fix it. An F is really low!</p>
<p>Depends on the school, but yes, looks like maybe your admission could be rescinded, or I think some schools let you attend but put you on academic probation right away.</p>
<p>Nobody here can answer your question. You need to call admissions and explain the situation. I don’t know if you’ll be rescinded…Seems like colleges really like to keep the people they’ve accepted. Let us know, though, either way. A lot of kids ask this kind of question and it might be good if some people could answer that for them with some facts.</p>
<p>You’re in some trouble unless you get that grade up fast.</p>
<p>F is not good, not matter how you look at it. It is not a passing grade.</p>
<p>Schools want to make sure their students could handle the work load and graduate. It’s better for them to rescind the acceptance and get someone off the WL if they don’t think you could handle the work.</p>
<p>If you would blow off an English class in high school because you didn’t think it was needed, what make them think you wouldn’t do the same in college?</p>
<p>This question comes up often here, and we rarely hear of somebody being rescinded. I think a college probably could rescind you for that. Will it keep you from getting your high school diploma? That would make it a more serious matter, I think. If you can get the grade up, certainly do what you can. Other than that, you’ll just have to see what the college does. If they ask you for an explanation, don’t say you didn’t care about that class–I guess you should say you were distracted by the Physics.
Please, let us know what happens–that could help future generations.</p>
<p>I ended up with a D in the class, and the class is not necessary for me to graduate. I’m not really sure how that affects the chances of me getting rescinded…</p>
<p>In case there are some of you guys wondering. I spoke with the admissions office, and they simply take the final GPA and confirm that it is still within an acceptable range above an unidentified cut off grade. Because I was at the top of the range, my acceptance is not at risk. But if I was near the bottom of the range my acceptance would be at risk.</p>
<p>haha nice work. what school??</p>
<p>I’m glad to hear that you’re still okay.</p>
<p>Policies on rescinding admission seem to vary greatly from university to university. I’ve seen some rescind if your overall grades drop significantly from those with which you applied, or if something really bad happened like you were kicked out of school or ran into criminal difficulties. I’ve seen some rescind if you get a couple of Ds. </p>
<p>I’ve also seen schools postpone admission for a term, or send a warning letter and ask for an explanation, or let you attend but start you off on academic probation right away. </p>
<p>It really depends on the school. You got lucky. This is good!</p>
<p>Depends on the school, but you should contact the college immediately.</p>
<p>Get it fixed! Hurry, an F is serious! (Not meant to incite fear, but you should do some serious rectifying)</p>
<p>It would be nice to know what college this is, but this should at least be some comfort to the people who worry that they’ll be rescinded for a couple of Bs.</p>
