Accepted but possible problem. [#permalink] New post   25 Nov 2007, 21:10
I have recently been accepted to Vanderbilt, Wake and William and Mary's master of accounting programs.

However, I will probably fail or get a D in calculus II. This will be my only grade below a B ever and I can retake it for a grade change in the spring (though the F or D will still be on my transcript).

Will these schools pull back there offer if I fail this one class (other grades are good)? I know they probably won't but I need some reassurance. If I fail, I plan on taking it again. These schools do not need my transcripts again until I graduate, so they won't know I have failed until late May.

Please help. I am very worried.

Don't sweat it.

Just retake it again if you get a D or below.

Can you take the class for pass/no pass... or better yet withdraw/drop the class?

Whoa,

Are you saying this is a serious problem? Or are you joking?

I am taking it pass/fail but I am having serious problems with the teacher and so is the rest of the class. There is a chance I could pass but I doubt it.


I can retake it in the spring and, with another teacher, I know I will pass.

I dont think a D is a big issue. I have a D in my undergrad transcript and that did not pose any problems with the school I applied to.. Maybe a good explanation of why you performed poorly will suffice..

As Avi said a D shouldn't kill your app. If the class isn't required and you still have time take the W and retake the class in Spring.
