Will My Admission Be Rescinded from Brandeis?!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone...so I just received my final report card and found out that I got a 61 (D-) in Honors Statistics for Quarter 4...however, my grade is a 76 (C) for my final grade. The rest of my final grades are A's and B's, as are the rest of my Quarter 4 Grades. The reason why I'm concerned is that I started off the year very well in Stats, as I got a 90 (A) and a 88 (B+) for my first two quarters. However, after that, my teacher left due to her pregnancy, and we got a teacher that wasn't very good (many people did poorly as his student, not just myself), hence a C third quarter and a D fourth quarter.</p>

<p>Will my admission to Brandeis be rescinded because of this? Thanks!</p>

<p>Colleges usually don’t see quarter grades. Usually quarter grades aren’t on transcripts. </p>

<p>your year-end grade should be fine. </p>

<p>What did your semester grade say?</p>

<p>Ask your school to let you see your transcript so you can see what the school will see.</p>

<p>I’ve already seen my transcript (for freshman-junior year anyways) and it only shows final grades and GPA. Thanks!</p>

<p>You should be fine. It’s only one C with A’s and B’s for the rest of your classes. If you’re any kind of humanities/social sciences major, even more so.</p>

<p>in order to be rescinded or have your enrollment in any way compromised, you would need to do something which brings into question whether or not you are mature and hard-working enough to handle the transition to college. Colleges do not take rescission (right word?) lightly, as it means losing a paying customer in whom they have already invested resources. They do not just rescind people and tell them bye bye willy-nilly. Possible reasons include a serious deviation from previous record of academic performance or serious disciplinary issues.<br>
Getting a C in statistics does not bring into question whether you are mature enough for college. Therefore, while you may be miffed by your grade, you need not fear for your college career.</p>

<p>Most students <em>at</em> Brandeis get no better than a C in statistics (it’s a notorious killer course).</p>

<p>You should be fine.
And good luck at 'Deis, it’s an awesome school.</p>
