<p>i flunked out of my first semester ap calculus class and dropped it for the second semester. i am also in danger of not receiving a grade for my ap european history class for second semester because i have too many absences.</p>
<p>i called the office of admissions after the grades for calculus came out, and i was told that “it might not be such a big deal” because i’m not an engineering major. but the lady who answered the phone said that i should probably write a letter so it wouldn’t be a surprise.</p>
<p>however, i learned about the european history today, and while there’s a chance that i could win the appeal… what happens if i don’t? i know i’ve dug myself in deep, and that i shouldn’t have slacked off. but am i in serious jeopordy right now? is there any way i can soften the blow?</p>
