Contact them right away1 The only people that have seen your full transcript and that know the actual policy work in Davis admissions. Everyone else here is just guessing. There is little you can do to change your chances of being rescinded. The only caveat to that is if they ask you to write a letter of explanation. There are a few things you should do and some you should avoid, so if they ask for a letter come back and you can get more advice on what to say.

Here is what Davis wrote in their alumni magazine a few years ago

At UC Davis, the best action is to contact the university early, even before final grades come out. Says Campbell, “We tell students if anything changed from when you put your application in, let us know as soon as it happens. We want to work with you early on.”

There is no reason for an admitted student to fear making contact, even with news about poor performance, because the university’s goal is to keep the student eligible to enroll. If the student delays, he or she may find that it’s too late to sign up for summer school at community college, which often begins in early June.

Best of luck to you; let us know how it turns out.
