<p>I have a friend who was accepted into Umich LSA honors, but right now he seems to be on the road to failing his BC Calculus course. I'm thinking that he would get a C or below. He has no excuses for failing because the only reason he's failing is because he has been absent 3/5 of the times from lateness. What are the chances that Umich would rescind him?</p>
<p>There are three possible scenarios if he fails Calculus.</p>
<p>1) Best case scenario is that Michigan will ask for a reason why he failed his class and accept his excuse. </p>
<p>2) Most likely scenario, Michigan may not accept his excuse and place him on academic probation, which will stay on his record and could hurt his chances when he applies to graduate school.</p>
<p>3) Worst case scenario, Michigan could rescind his acceptance, although that is very rare. </p>
<p>I really advise your friend to buckle up and get a C at the very least. Having the words "academic probation" on one's record is pretty much a death sentence for anybody seriously considering graduate school.</p>
<p>My brother ended up with a 51/100 which is like thr equivalent of a D in his ISC Exams , that is his senior year. However Michigan did not rescind his admission or ask any questions for that mattter. But perhaps that was because he's taking the Indian syllabus. I dunno. </p>
<p>Dont take the risk , if he puts in more hours - he can definitely score higher.</p>
<p>yeah, he'll be okay if he can get at least a C.</p>
<p>Is there something like you have to have at least 2 Cs or 1 D/F to be called for review? And then you simply have to explain to them why you got that grade?</p>
<p>So what does it actually take for UM to put you on academic probation? </p>
<p>and also a separate question.. is there a certain score that UM is looking for in the AP exams that we take in May? or is it just to see if we can get credit for it?</p>
<p>Unless the University specifies AP expectations, the results of AP exams are usedpurely for credit purposes. </p>
<p>There is no specific rule one what would place a student on academic probation. In general, it is safe to say that if a student's GPA in core classes drops below the 3.0 mark, the university will ask serious questions and it could lead to probation. Dropping from a 3.7 toa 3.5 or 3.4 GPA is perfectly acceptable, but dropping to a sub-3.0 level is unacceptable. It shows a lack of maturity unworthy of college level academics.</p>
<p>first of all, Michigan is perhaps the most lenient about this policy among top schools. A peer of mine back in the day (had 2 failing grades at the end of his senior year). Michigan threatened the probation status, but the principal called on his behalf, and he entered Michigan without any problems.</p>
<p>This is confusing. It seems that 3.0 is an 85 or a B, but what exactly is 3.0 to Umich?</p>
<p>All Bs or an equal mix of As and Cs.</p>
