UC Berkeley Revoke Admission?

I have committed to Berkeley next year and I’m sort of panicking…I recently found out that I received a D in my AP Stats class due to a 0 on this huge assignment (it was for a very unfair reason-my teacher completely is heartless. He thought I was cheating on this one assignment which was completely unjustified and not accurately accused. I’m an honest person would never do something like that but there was a misunderstanding and he will not compromise) and anyways, Im not sure what to do. I’ve worked so hard for 4 years to get here and its their policy to rescind based on anyting lower than a C so I am very worried. Any suggestions/comments?

Notify UCB immediately. Is this your final grade and is it posted on your transcript?

Is the zero on that assignment final? Have you already talked to the teacher with any evidence supporting your work on the assignment? Have you met with your college counselor and the head of the math department at your high school?

Yeah I’ve actually tried all of that for some reason my school administration is weird…they are sort of scared of the teachers and don’t listen to the students. I think the only option now is going to Berkeley not my school…

@Gumbymom Yeah unfortunately it is…

does anyone else have any suggestions to what I should do at this point?

Contact UCB TODAY and tell them what happened. Be brief but, honest and ask them what to do next. They may work with you, they may not.

Good luck

Did you take the AP exam? If you passed 3 or better on the AP they might consider that passing the class. AP grades won’t be out till after July 5th. Check out

This document is only for UC admission. And may not have to do with revoking admission at Berkley. But if you pass the AP test you might have a good leg to stand on.

This isn’t fair. If your teacher doesn’t have any evidence of cheating I recommend you take further action to deny his claims. Usually colleges give you a chance to explain a grade drop.
