<p>Hi,
I wish to transfer to The Harvard Extension School from a community college because the college provides those with the opportunity to enroll in a few classes before they apply to the ALB degree program. I want to focus my studies on the Social Sciences with a concentration is Sociology(through Special Student Status with Harvard College’s Sociology Department).</p>
<p>However, I am not certain if I’ll be a competitive student in the admissions process because I’ve received a grade of a D in one of my classes. To illustrate, Here is a breakdown of academic record to date:</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Summer 2007
Pre-Calculus-Algebra Grade: A</p>
<p>Fall 2007
Pre-Calculus-Trigonometry Grade: A</p>
<p>Spring 2008
Calculus I (Hoping for at least a “B”)</p>
<p>I was simply wondering if the one bad grade that I have will put me at a disadvantage to an otherwise strong academic record? I’ve tried to retake the Intro. to Logic class so that I could get a better grade. But the class is always cancelled due to a lack of student enrollment. Would a “A or B” grade in Calculus I compensate for the low grade that I received in my Logic class? </p>
<p>I plan to enroll at the Harvard Summer School to register for the Expo S-20 Writing Class, which is required for the ALB degree program with a “B” grade. From there, I’ll register for three other classes in the Fall 2008. I am not sure what my grades would be. But I have a strange felling that the “D” from my Logic class will haunt me once again. I was rejected from UPENN: College of General Studies and Columbia: School of General Studies because of that one class. </p>
<p>Could someone give me some guidance as to what my chance at Harvard’s Extension School would be? Thank you!</p>
