Will UMass Amherst revoke my acceptance?

<p>Hi, I was wondering if UMass would rescind my acceptance with this circumstance;</p>

<p>My cumulative GPA from freshman year to junior year in high school was a 3.24 and my SAT score (out of 2400) was a 2060 (1280/1600).</p>

<p>I got accepted in UMass (early action) with $8000 in scholarship for Nutrition.</p>

<p>My 1st semester grades throughout senior year were fairly good; my grades have been mostly between B+ and A+ (one B in economics). In addition, for the first 2 quarters, I have gotten a C+ and C in AP Calculus, respectively. I'm taking another AP course - Psychology - and I am getting a B+ in that class.</p>

<p>3rd quarter grades aren't out yet, but I know that I'm going to get a B+ in Calculus, as I worked harder for the class.</p>

<p>HOWEVER, I just recently found out that Calculus will do me no good in regards to pursuing a major in Nutrition at UMass Amherst, given I get a 4 or 5 on the AP, as the only math course I will need is a Statistics class (and that will complete my requirement for Analytic Reasoning, correct me if I'm wrong). My logic is basically that even if I get the AP credit for Calculus that will complete that requirement for Analytic Reasoning, I would still need to take the Stats class, therefore I would not save myself a class at all.</p>

<p>I had a quiz in Calc for the final quarter and I'm now getting a failing grade. I'm wondering, because I know it is a definite waste of time and do not wish to put effort into the class any longer, if I will get my acceptance revoked due to the F that I am anticipating in this class for the final quarter.</p>

<p>Will I? Any thoughts on my situation? Thanks!</p>

<p>Colleges only see semester grades. How bad is that currently?</p>

<p>Okay, so here are my grades in-depth:
Economics (1st semester): B (Q1 was B+ and Q2 was B)
Mythology (1st semester): B+ (Q1 was A and Q2 was B+)
Philosophy (1st semester): A+ (Q1 and Q2 were both A+)</p>

<p>Chamber Orchestra (full year): A+ so far (Q1 and Q2 were both A+, Q3 most likely A or A+)
AP Psychology (full year): B+ so far (Q1 and Q2 were both B+, Q3 most likely B+)
AP Calculus AB (full year): C to C+ so far (Q1 was C+, Q2 was C, Q3 most likely B+)</p>

<p>Criminal Justice (2nd semester): most likely B to B+ for Q3
Responding to Literature (2nd semester): most likely A+ for Q3</p>

<p>For Q4, the last quarter of the school year, I’m most likely going to be getting the same Q3 grades for all the classes with the exception of AP Calculus.</p>

<p>This whole situation sounds exactly like what I have right now! I’m really nervous about losing my 8,000 scholarship so how did this all end up turning out?</p>

<p>Well, if you fail the class, and you require that Math credit for high school, you can’t graduate. Do well in it, don’t fall into the trap of senioritis, and you should be fine. I’m more or less questioning why the hell they even gave you the scholarship if this is your work ethic.</p>
