question about GPA

Colleges & Universities University of Washington

<p>My GPA is quite low because I recieved a D+ in Life Fitness (causing my cummulative GPA that sem. to be a 2.6) ,a course I found out wasnt even required because if you are in IB then it can be excused, but never the less I took it before I found out and failed quite miserably because I wasn’t a fast runner. The class is stuck on my transcript and cannot be taken off. I am currently retaking it online hoping to get atleast a A- but it can only be added at the end of 1st semester and by that time College Apps are way over.</p>

<p>How should I handle this or am I hopeless? Is there a way I can explain to UW about this course or not include it in my app?</p>

<p>Explain it in the additional info. writing section.</p>

<p>Don’t hide any of your grades. If you decide to go to UW, your high school will send your final transcript to UW. If they notice a difference between your application and the transcript, you will either be put on academic probation or (most likely) your acceptance will be rescinded.</p>

Why would you assume his/her intent was to hide the grade just from that post?</p>

<p>srnmng, that won’t sink your chances if you explain it. What is your overall GPA, SAT, ECs, etc?</p>
