<p>So I just found out I've got a terrible grade in my AP Stat class and I doubt I'll be able to bring it up to a C. I emailed Irvine about dropping it on Monday, it says they read the message, but still no response. Anyway, I'm wondering if I can withdraw from the class. I think that's where I stay in the class, attend class like I normally would, but you get a "W" on your transcript instead of a letter grade.</p>
<p>Now I'm reading through UCI's freshman contract and it doesn't say anything about not being able to withdraw from a class.</p>
<p>Freshman contract:</p>
<p>Your senior-year GPA in UC-approved courses must be at least 3.00. </p>
<p>If you receive a D or F grade in any A-G or college course in your senior year, notify the Admissions Office immediately in writing and submit a copy of your grade report or transcript. Consult with your admissions counselor after you submit the information and be advised that your admissions may be subject to cancellation if your official transcript includes D or F grades in senior year or D or F grades in other semesters, including repeats, that were unreported on the UC application you submitted. </p>
<p>Notify the Admissions Office immediately, either in writing or through UCI's online Applicant Message Center, of any changes to your A-G courses in your senior year. (Visit the Message Center at <a href="http://www.admissions.uci.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.uci.edu</a>.) Your admission may be subject to cancellation if you fail to maintain the academic rigor in course work presented at the time you were offered admission (e.g., no longer UC-eligible given senior year grades or other factors). </p>
<p>Anyone have any experience with something like this?</p>
<p>I never heard of anyone doing this.. But if you informed UCI that you're going to be dropping a class in the middle of the semester, they must know that it's because you're doing poorly... Since there really is no reason to drop a class halfway into the semester. I think they may treat it as if you received a D or an F which means you may need to send in a letter of explanation. My advice is to work your ass off somehow to get a C or if worst comes to worst.. talk.. no beg your teacher for mercy lol.</p>
<p>Hey nschuchert. You should be fine. A "W" won't look bad. Try to first just notify them that you are withdrawing from the class. If they ask for more info, then you can tell them. Withdrawals do happen in college also. People get into top universities for grad school with W's on their record.</p>
<p>I think they'll be fine with it too. This way I'm still attending class and learning some statistics instead of dropping the class and TA'ing or going home earlier. I just can't believe I'm doing so poorly right now. I've got A's in my other three classes, it's just AP Stat really sucks. I've studied for the tests, done all my homework in the class, and can't seem to catch a break. Obviously it doesn't help that I've missed a lot of class and my teacher kinda sucks.</p>
<p>so since we're on the topic of dropped classes.. do i have to notify them if i'm going to drop track & field? or perhaps be kicked off.. anyways.. do they just care about the academic ones?</p>
<p>haha, i'm close to failing stats, too. 70.6%! :(</p>
<p>too bad i have an F in homework and i got a 48% on the midterm.</p>
<p>hopefully college will cure my senioritis; i don't care much about my grades in high school anymore so long as i pass and i keep looking forward to college. :o</p>
<p>I talked to my teacher and I should be okay. I have a 68 and we took our final the other day (which I think I did really well on) and we have a project were doing as well so he said as long as I do okay on those I'll get a C.</p>
<p>To tell you the truth I'm more scared about what my dad would do to me about getting a D than what UCI would do.</p>
<p>On the topic of GPAs, do they still count weighted GPA regardless of the 8 point limit (how they only gave us a limit of an additional 8 points of AP/honors credit for all of high school to our GPA during the admissions)?</p>
