Early Decision Applicant to WAKE FOREST - College Calculus teacher is CRAZY
I have applied early decision to Wake. Believe I am a strong candidate. However, my PSYCHO College Calculus teacher has ONE math test each marking period. I was absent. She REFUSES to let me take it and has given me a D for the marking period! All other IB grades are A's. Got a 35 on Math ACT. I do have Math aptitude.
Will A D ruin it for me? Do I send in the marking period grades and explain this? So upset. Wake has been my first choice for four years . I WAS so proud of my all A marking period - rigorous course load.

Yes, if Wake sees a D they may put you in the RD pool or decline your admission. No way to know.
A "D" is not great. However, what worries me more is that you are failing to take responsibility for your actions. I hear a lot of whining and deferring of accountability. Re the admissions process..... College want students who are going be successful academically, but they really want students who are not going to blame others when they make a mistake.
I think you need to take a long hard look at how you are approaching your life. You need to look at where you have fallen down and take steps to change your behavior. The upside of all this, is that it is a growth/learning opportunity. Come to terms with the fact that you F-ed Up and choose to do things differently next time. Really I see a great Common Ap essay here. Isn't one of the prompts about a time you failed and how it changed you?
p.s.....Using your mother's account? Really?
