D applied for and was accepted to UCF Summer 2016. SAT 1730, WGPA 4.1 / UWGPA 3.7. Will have 6 APs, more than a few honors classes, and 2 DE before heading off. Good ECs with leaderships. Superb essay.
Here's what's happened: She kicked off her senior year with Anat/Phys Honors, AP Calc, AP Micro/Macro, and AP Physics. That's all she needed. In addition, she decided to take Anat/Phys as a DE class at the local CC to get an early start on college classes. This is an online class. After the first internet error resulted in a test F that could not be changed, she has been tumbling through it and now sits at a D. She's very disappointed in herself, and expected better.
Regardless of how she got to this point, a decision has to be made. If she got A's on every quiz and test from here on, the best she could hope for would be a low C. I've seen her and I've seen this class......A's for the rest ain't happening. If she continues with this class, she'll get a D. Odd for a kid who takes the hard classes and usually gets A's, but that's where we're at.
We are leaning strongly toward withdrawing from the class. It's that or a likely D.
Any input on how this could affect her admission offer?
I'll be calling the university Monday and following up with a letter asking what happens if she posts a "W" on her transcript. The admission letter of course said that the offer is contingent upon completion of current coursework. That DE class is "current coursework", but it's also not needed for HS graduation. And, oddly enough, she'll end up putting up an A for Anat/Phys Honors through the high school.
Thanks.
