I had three classes this last quarter...AP Biology, Physics, and AP English. This last quarter i messed up and i got a D in AP Biology, a Pass in physics (i took it pass/fail, and a D in AP English will the University of Illinois at Chicago deny me?? I was admitted into the Applied Health Sciences school. Is there anything i can do??? FYI, I'm taking summer school at a community college to get ahead. I just finished my Anthropology class and i believe i got an A. Now i am taking English 102 (because i was granted credit for english 101 because of my ACT) and Psychology 101. I plan to do well in these as well. So basically i just messed up in my AP English and Bio class. English doesnt matter because i'll be done with it for the rest of my life once i'm done with it this summer. However do they look at it the same way?? How can i prove to them that i am doing well in these college classes and that i am going above and beyond most kids in the summer and doing a total of 12 credit hours??? I don't know what happened this last quarter but i'm deffinetly a hard worker...

Talk to the school and see what they say. Failing your last semester in high school is not a good sign that you will do well in college. It is a good indicator that you're too busy partying these days to focus on what's really important. You're going to have to impress upon them that you are a worthwhile candidate. You may have to start at a community college and then tranfer to the better school. In which case, be sure you take classes that will transfer.

D's are really bad for College Transcript, let alone a C. I wouldn't be surprised if they stripped you of your scholarship, just expect the worse and hope for the best. If your in your Senior year of HS, then theres probably nothing you can do to change there mind. If you don't get accepted, you can always go to a local Community College for 2 years, and join the honors program over there. You probably are capable of getting A's and B's, and maybe you can transfer to an even better university than Illinois. Many people say that your Senior Year is the most "unimportant year in Highschool." Thats deadwrong, Colleges look at your Senior Grades, because that usually reflects on your attitude/personality. People who tend to consistently do well from Freshmen-Senior impresses colleges a lot. But people who do well from Freshmen-Junior year and slack off their Senior, gives Colleges a very bad impression. They think that you don't care anymore and aren't determined. But to answer your question....its really up to the University to decide if they still want you, based on what you did at the Community College, I think you have a good shot to go to the University your supposed to attend. Good luck

if you were already admitted then you probably won't be denied....in all honesty U of I isn't really a good school...or that good of one...so you aren't in that bad of a position...i mean you shouldn't have screwed yourself like that in high school...but there's worse you could have done... anyway...you could take summer classes to help erase some of those bad grades...but the fact that you only had 3 classes and screwed them up so badly doesn't look good...and you probably didn't earn college credit for any of those... i'm not sure of what else you can do...but you really shouldn't have put yourself into this kind of position...you really shot yourself in the foot this time...
