This year has been tough. I was hospitalized for several days this year for major depression second semester senior year. A month and a half after my hospitalization, a good friend of mine ended her own life (this was late March, right after my birthday).
Due to the circumstances, I haven’t been emotionally, mentally, or physically well.

I am taking 4 AP classes, 1 advanced science class, and am the editor of my school yearbook.
While the rest of my classes are mid to high As, I currently have a C in AP Calculus.

While I have tried the best I could, the pain of my friend’s death so soon after my birthday and hospitalization made it hard- especially since AP Calculus was a class I shared with that friend.

I am also an active athlete and as this season is very competitve for me, that put even more of a strain on my grades.

Like I mentioned, I have all As, but a very low C in calculus. Our final exam is worth 45% of our grade and I am pretty sure that I will do poorly and end up with a D in the class.

I am extremely anxious about losing my acceptance to a WashU especially as they gave me a full ride scholarship. I have poured as much as I could into this clsss, but math has always been a bad weakness for me and only hours of hard work allowed me to receive As in all my math classes.

Will my acceptance be rescinded if I finish the year with all As but one D in AP Calculus?

I know no one here can let me know for sure, but I would be beyond thankful for some insight from people who are perhaps less biased than my friends and family (who, not wanting me to have more anxiety attacks or unstable moods, wish for me to feel well and reassure me incessantly that I will not have my acceptance rescinded).

I have began treatment and have gotten a lot better, so I should be well for college, but my friend’s death was a very painful experience and complicated everything for me. I apologize to be sharing so much information- I just think it would provide better answers, as it will inform of the circumstances behind my bad grade besides simply “senioritis” (which I shockingly do not suffer from).
