Flunking a class can be an issue. Our HS distributes to seniors a packet of letters from colleges (names of students are wiped out) which recind acceptances, demand written explainations of why senior years grades have dramatically dropped etc. The school pounds in into student’s heads no to slip too much school-wise. I would talk to your HS guidance counselor and see how he/she suggests handling it. Maybe try to get some help in econ. and pull out a reasonable grade by year end. And its kind of a cop out but maybe it is possible to withdraw from the econ. class and not have it show up on your mid-year report? Of course then you may have to explain to the college why you dropped an AP class. But just don’t ignore the problem, figure out how to make it better. This can cause a problem not just for Fordham, but any school you are applying to.
