<p>I was admitted with a 14k scholarship. I talked to the admission counselor and she said they typically do not take away a scholarship if they allow the student to stay. I was accepted with a 3.875 weighted GPA but this semester I have gotten a 3.0. I got 3 Ds in AP Calculus, AP Lit, and physics.. This is all due to the fact that I had to deal with my ailing grandmother and her eventual death all during this semester. Do you think my offer of admission will be rescinded?</p>
<p>Don’t worry about the semester grades. They only see the final grade. If you don’t have any D’s or F’s on your final transcript, there is no worry. If there is, have your guidance counselor send a note explaining your circumstances and how you have dealt with it. Show growth through the process and you will be fine.</p>
<p>^^^^^ Excellent advice, I agree</p>
<p>Unfortuantely they will be on my final transcript. I am hoping they are okay after I send the note from the guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Let UDenver know about the whole situation. If you had to take on extra responsibilities that got in the way of your studies, they may cut you a break. Definitely let them know with a phone call ASAP, though.</p>

<p>Nobody should ever give or take advice like this. Here on the Internet, we don’t know where you go to high school, and we have no idea what information your school sends to colleges in their end-of-year reports. </p>
<p>My kids’ high school issues transcripts that list only final course grades–no quarter grades, no semester grades, no grades for mid-term or final exams. My own high school transcript, dating from approximately the Renaissance, showed first-semester, second-semester and final grades. I have worked in schools where the official transcript also showed exam grades.</p>
<p>The only information that is relevant is information about what *your *high school will report to *your *college, and the best source for that information is *your *guidance counselor.</p>

<p>Probably true. But I’d bet a lot of money that bp0001 has no authority to speak for the University of Denver. Only the admissions staff there can tell you whether these grades will create a problem with your admission. You must talk to them. If you take the advice of anyone else, however well-intentioned, you’re taking a real risk.</p>

<p>I agree with this. And also with this:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But I wouldn’t bother too much with platitudes about “showing growth.” The time for showing growth was during application season. Now the only thing you need to show, and the only thing they care about, is that the set of circumstances that interfered with your academic achievement in the spring won’t create problems for you at college in the fall.</p>
<p>FutureMD7, I am sorry for your loss. Good luck.</p>
