Will my admission be revoked if I have a C 2nd semester?

<p>This year, I'm taking 6 AP classes out of 7, and they're SUPER hard. I'm worried that I'll end up getting a C in my AP Calculus class by the end of this semester. My teacher is Czech, and she has a hard time speaking English so it's hard for me to understand what she's saying.</p>

<p>For MIT, would they still accept me if I have a C in AP Calculus but a few As and a couple of Bs this 2nd semester?</p>

<p>I heard somewhere that all I have to do is get above a 3.0 UW and I'll be fine. Is that true?</p>

<p>FF, I think most viewers probably thought that you posted here by mistake, since your question seems to be about MIT…</p>

<p>woops… haha my bad. What about Stanford then?? I’m applying to both schools! XD</p>

<p>its really a pointless question. first, your admission decision will not be based on that. so you can worry about it after you are accepted. it seems like you are asking for approval to get a C. you won’t get approval, and people’s opinions here don’t matter.
just try not to get a C…</p>

<p>Worry about MIT and Stanford After you’ve been accepted.</p>

<p>But just FYI, since I see that you’ve applied to UCs, you will be rescinded from the UCs if your GPA drops below 3.0. (a C and a few Bs is cutting it quite close)</p>

<p>Just self study for Calculus. There are plenty of resources on the internet like Opencourseware and Khan Academy that can make AB quite a breeze.</p>

<p>I have the same problem. I’ve gotten all As in every one of my classes so far, and I’m in 5 AP classes, including AP calc. I honestly don’t understand all of what we do in there and I think I’ll get a C (D if I’m unlucky, B if I’m lucky.)</p>

<p>I hope they don’t rescind my admission! I don’t think it’s very likely though…</p>

<p>LNSebastian, if you aren’t following some of the calc material in class, you might want to do some self-study to improve both your grasp and your grade. Have a look here: [Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“http://www.khanacademy.org/]Khan”>http://www.khanacademy.org/)</p>

<p>These brief lectures might help you isolate the areas where you need to devote more attention. The guy who does them is very clear and easy to follow. (Surely you don’t want to let “luck” determine your grade, especially if you think it could deteriorate below C level–at that point you are risking rescission to some extent.) Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Just memorize your integrals and derivatives and learn to recognize them. Always apply the chain rule. </p>

<p>Aaaand learn your MacLaurin Series. Knowing those is free points on the AP exam. No kiddin’.</p>

<p>And that’s pretty much all you need to know for calculus. XP</p>

<p>Also, don’t even bother learning LaGrange error, unless you really have some extra time to kill.</p>

<p>LOL i forgot all of my Calc BC
i remember skipping a whole frq last year (the MacLaurin Series) and still got a 5</p>
