<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was accepted to Stanford early. However, I am currently getting a C in AP Calc BC. I have As in all of my other 5 classes (All APs). I also have a part time job at the same time. Will one C be enough for them to rescind my admission?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>no...dont worry....but dont fail.</p>
<p>I think you'll be fine. Just don't get a D.
On a related note, I wonder what Stanford might think of the fact that I'm getting As in all my AP classes but I might wind up with a B in art. Lmao...</p>
<p>No, you'll be fine, even if you fail.</p>
<p>The "Rescind" option is really applicable only to those who went from, say, AP Physics C to Film Study.</p>
<p>^ Film Study may actually be much more challenging to the typical AP Calc BC student :-P</p>
<p>Ok, bad example...</p>
<p>I think they will rescind if you REALLY slacked off. Like Ds and Cs. That would look terrible. IMO, I'm pretty sure they won't rescind based on one C. You can explain your circumstances on your counselor's mid-year report if you really want to (or if there are any).</p>
<p>seriously, have a good explanation ready. luckily you have all A's on other things becuase last year a guy good recinded from Stanford for getting a C (but he had straight B's in other classes).</p>
<p>please don't slack off. it's not worth it. =)</p>
<p>Crap, really? Dang was he SCEA or was that his 2nd sem grade report?</p>
<p>Dang, I'm kinda scared now.</p>
<p>I was accepted SCEA in December and I am getting the C+ in calc for my 1st semester senior year.</p>
<p>Hmmm. I dunno if they look at your second semester in these cases, but I'd try to get a decent grade in second semester. I'd communicate regarding this concern to Stanford if I were you. </p>
<p>Why is this happening? Is the calculus teacher just evil? Typically if you put in the work, you can get a decent grade, but not with nastier teachers. I mean, it sounds like you're a good student overall, and if you're not just slacking and there's a good reason, I'd communicate it.</p>
<p>I think like, straight B's is OK...a C is actually a bit of a cause for worry.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say "Oh you're screwed" because that's not true, but you know...you just don't want to lose a great admissions offer. It could really be a sad story.</p>
<p>One c wont kill you. Thats one class. you might get one of those "hey, we're watching you" letters but thats about it.</p>
<p>I on the other hand am SCREWED. I have all A's on my transcript, but this quarter I have all B's and a C. You can pinpoint almost the exact day I stopped caring :) Its the dropoff that i think will gain me much attention.</p>
<p>Yes my calc teacher is evil. I had a 79.4 % going into the final. I studied all of the material and was able to pull a 82% on the final...... but she surprised us and decided to make a floating curve with the class average (83%) equal to a C. I really did not expect her to do this. I wasn't slacking off, I just got screwed over in the end.</p>
<p>Any decision to rescind or not will be based on your final mark for the year. Use the time you have between now and then to pull up that mark with help from a friend who knows the material, afterschool tutorials from your current teacher, or an outside tutor. I wouldn't risk my acceptance to Stanford!</p>
<p>I would communicate to Stanford if possible....they couldn't punish you if you explained unless they HATE you.</p>
<p>I was admitted Early Action . . . And I worry about this all the time.</p>
<p>I lost 8 points on a Calc BC Test because I thought (0,4) was (4,0). So when I drew the slope field and the solution through it, ... it was completely wrong. And I was VERY UPSET.</p>
<p>But then I realized .. that i needed to calm down. Haha ...</p>
<p>I think you're good : P</p>
<p>Wait, will Stanford rescind if we change an AP class we're struggling in, even if the class we are changing to is more geared towards your passion? I'm going through the exact problem in AP Stats.</p>
<p>Stanford rarely, if ever, rescinds.</p>

“We might be reviewing 10 to 15 [students out] of the total class where we have concern,” Shaw said. “Last year we took pretty serious action on four of them. But we do take serious action and that’s the message."

Shawn Abbott, director of admissions at Stanford University, said four
students had their admission deferred until next fall so they can complete
required courses or otherwise show they are prepared for college.

<p>Like an above poster stated, as long as you don't drop a whole point in gpa, fail an AP course, don't graduate, or drop AP classes without telling Stanford, you'll be ok. And even if you do, you'll have to wait until next year.</p>
<p>lol... I got in Yale EA and I'm in exactly the same situation... </p>
<p>A C in Calc BC... A's in all my other classes including 3 APs...</p>
