<p>It must have been God's miracle that I somehow got accepted to UC Santa Barbara with a measly 3.5 GPA, albeit that I received a 1940 SAT I score. The grades that I received in the first three years of high school were fine. Nothing spectacular, but enough to get me into a decent 4-year university. Senior year, however, senioritis struck me hard up to the point where I started to neglect homework assignments and not take exams very seriously.</p>
<p>It finally came to the point where my grades became a pivotal concern for my admissions to UC Santa Barbara. Although I have already sent my Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), which basically means that I chose to attend UC Santa Barbara as an Undergraduate Freshman, I am now concerned of my admissions being revoked - that is, mainly because of my AP Calculus grade.</p>
<p>Well, here are my senior year grades (it's ugly):</p>
<p>First semester grades:
English IV AP - B+
Calculus AP - C
Physics AP - C
Economics H - B-
TA Sci Asst - A
Art I - B</p>
<p>Second semester grades:
English IV AP - B-
Calculus AP - D
Physics AP - C
Government AP - B-
TA Sci Asst - A
Art I - C+</p>
<p>Very shameful indeed, I know. I calculated that if I received a 92% on the final project for my AP Calculus class, I would receive a C-. It's unfortunate that I received a 91% instead, which the grade was given based on the teacher's intuitive grading system - more based on whim rather than concrete statistics, if you will. Because of this, I'm afraid that my admissions to UC Santa Barbara will be revoked.</p>
<p>I now realize that there are only a few options left for me. I really do not wish to have to attend a community college for a whole year. I'm willing to do anything. Heck, even summer school sounds fine right about now. I am tremendously glad and thankful for the opportunity to share this with you all, and any input is appreciated in advance.</p>
