<p>Ok, so here's the deal,
I applied to 4 schools, IU (bloomington), MSU, Mizzou, and Truman State
I got accepted into all 4 schools before, however, a lot has happened this semester and i fear that my admission to Truman will be revoked; i plan on attending Truman as a music major and have a scholarship (which isn't tied into academics).
My GPA did not drop, but i dropped 9 places in rank, and I did dreadful in math, here is my year as follows:</p>
<p>1st Semester
Jazz Band : A
AP Pysch : B
AP Bio : B
Alg 3 : C
Wind Ensemble : A
AP Lang : B
AP Latin 4 : A</p>
<p>2nd Semester:
Jazz Band : A
AP Pysch : B
AP Bio : C (need to get it changed to B, high school messed up)
Trig : F (why I am so flippin' worried)
Wind Ensemble : A
AP Lang : B
AP Latin 4 : B+</p>
<p>Is college acceptence also tied into music acceptance? I was also wondering if I need to call them and explain a few things, considering my mother, grandmother and grandfather all died of cancer this year, and i was kicked out of my house (long story, not going to go into it on the internet). I hate to use excuses since the reason i failed was because of my own doing, but I'm not sure if i need to?</p>
<p>Please help me. I need all the responses I can get, thanks a lot.</p>
<p>just call and let them know about the F, you might not even need to give an explanation.</p>
<p>shouldn't be something to worry about unless Truman has a policy unlike most other schools. This happens a lot, just do a search on the boards for something like "revoke acceptance" and you will find tons of threads of people with very similar circumstances, and i have yet to hear of someone on these boards who actually got their admissions revoked.</p>
<p>Yeah, thanks for the reply :P More would also be helpful.</p>
<p>I got my grades in AP Latin and AP Bio changed to an A and B which ended up giving me around a 3.6-7 for semester, but i'm still worried that something bad might happen.
Granted, I have weighted A's in every other class, I worry a lot. :/</p>
<p>yeah, all i can tell you is what i've seen happen before, you will have to let the school know eventually so there is no point in putting it off, you'll just worry about it more.</p>
<p>i can tell you what the WRONG thing to do is, and that is to not inform the school and hope they don't "catch" it.</p>
<p>The sooner that you let them know, the sooner you'll know if you'll be revoked. The school eventually will see your final transcript, and if they do revoke you, you don't want to learn that in Aug., when your other options will be more limited.</p>
<p>Although you will be a music major, the college still will care about your math grades. Often math and science courses are part of colleges' general education requirements for all students, and administrators may fear that a student who flunks h.s. math doesn't have the ability or discipline to graduate from college.</p>
<p>If you're lucky, the college may make your admission contingent on your passing a math class in summer school or a local community college.</p>
<p>You might want to have your guidance counselor call the school instead of you, and explain about the extenuating circumstances. I think it'll probably be OK.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help, it is quite appreciated :)
I am fairly confident that I won't get rejected if I show my extenuating circumstances, but I would hate to use them as an excuse, seeming that it was my fault, and I take complete ownership for that. Needless to say, the semester was hell, but I would hate to use that as an excuse.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree that due to the deaths in your family and being kicked out of your house, admissions may not revoke you. However, do call them ASAP to make sure.</p>
<p>My condolences on all of your losses. It is remarkable that you have been able to do as well academically that you have given the great losses and stress that you have suffered.</p>
<p>Some colleges take until Aug. to revoke admissions due to grades. Consequently, the OP needs to call the college ASAP, and also have his GC send a letter documenting his losses. The OP should contact the GC ASAP because it can be very hard contacting school teachers and GCs over the summer.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many students think it's OK to make up a sob story in order to avoid getting rescinded for bad grades.</p>
<p>Far better for the OP to be proactive now than to be rescinded when it's too late to do anything about it.</p>
<p>Although I still have yet to call Truman regarding it, I did talk to them online, and chances seemed quite favorable in my opinion. Although I still will certainly call them, most facts point to my favor regardless of my circumstances (i.e, maintained gpa, class rank, A's in AP's etc.) To all that replied, I completely and totally (can't stress enough) thank you for all your help in this circumstance, although this year has sucked, i know many have more then likely had worse.
My only question is that I'm not sure when I talk to them if i should mention my circumstances, I also need to know if I am going to get revoked sooner rather then later so I can make changes accordingly.
Thanks again for all your help and I will certainly keep it updated.</p>
<p>Of course you should mention your circumstances. Unlike most students who post here about fears of being revoked, due to the recent deaths of your relatives, you have a very understandable reason for your grade problems. Indeed, your maintaining otherwise good grades is strong tribute to your character. Please let the college college know about the losses you recently suffered.</p>
<p>So I called them today,
and basically they said I should be alright if I submit a letter explaining my circumstances, but they couldn't verify anything yet because they hadn't seen my final transcript.
But I will continue to update... now to write a letter :(</p>
