What GPA must I maintain in order for my USC decision to not be rescinded? Also, if I get a D in physics AP, does a D automatically rescind a decision. Someone who knows please respond because I'm really in a panicky mode right now. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the rest of the year, its only getting worse..

I know your pain. And seriously, all my teacher are getting HARDER and then we don't do as well, they blame it on senioritis. I'm busier than ever with all my homework, and still this is the worst I've done in a while...But yeah, I'd like to know this too.

I think a lot of people are wondering this, but it will probably take a call to the admissions office to get any answers.

My friend got a D in Calc last semister. He got wrote a letter to notify UCSB and they contacted him and didn't take away his acceptance. Of course that was UCSB but I immagine that the same procedure goes on elsewhere. All I know is that you are supposed to notify the college ASAP.

Hey guys, I hope this helps. I emailed this lady who's an adcom for usc and this is her response. "If it makes you feel any better, I got a D in AP Calc in my senior year. Anyway, it is very unlikely that we would rescind your offer of admission for a single D. If, however, your other courses were also a problem (other Cs, Ds or Fs), then we might consider it. Hopefully, that isn't an issue. If your other grades are good, then I wouldn't worry."

very good to know. Thanks, An0n.

Frankly, I don't think it's that big of a deal to them. They aren't looking for "bad" grades per se, but more for dramatic decreases.

This is very good news for me, considering I've gotten C-s and D+s in my soph-junior year in math haha... but Calc is pretty easy right now.

Whew...

I'm still kinda wondering though, if my average GPA is 3.34 and I get a solid 3.0, nothing would happen??
