Do colleges really care if you received lower than a D and withdrawals?

not really. As long as you took the classes over and showed some improvement i dont see what it would matter

Not as important as your money.  If a college is comparing you to another student for admission then they are 5% important.  In addition,  they help you if you are seeking scholarships.

Colleges aren't going to care if you went to two schools or not. They just care about you G.P.A, and Sat or act score. Also that you have taken 4 yrs of math, english, and science.

They do take the highest scores (or most of them say that will). But, all your scores show up. \n\nUniversities will look at things like the increase in your score. If they see that you are going down, they will not look fondly at that. However, if they see a BIG increase, then the will know that perhaps on the first one you were having a bad day. \n\nThere are a few schools that average. You will need to check the respective Universities for that information. They average because they feel that the test does not change. If you were unprepared, then it is your fault. If you had a bad day, then you should have had the foresight to cancel your score. \n\nAnd AmP above is incorrect. At my University, if you fail a course and you retake it, they average in the failed mark along with your passing mark for you GPA. This ensures that people do not just muck around and do nothing. Your failed mark will be averaged in for your marks into Grad School.

i'm not quite sure what you mean, but I guess it depends on the person. If they are hard working and really want a good grade, then a failure will motivate them not to get an F again. But if they are lazy and really don't care, I guess they would jsut be indifferent and it wouldn't really do anything because they don't study anyways. I know I'm generalzing here, but just common sense..

colleges don't look at your attendance...they look at your grades, your college test scores, and your extra-curricular activities + any awards....if you think your tardies will pull your grade down really bad for that class then go ahead and argue it out with your teacher....but usually attendance shouldn't pull your grade down much at all....as for your spanish class...study more/ask for help and make the A...good luck...

It depends on the college and their admissions policy. Everyone is different. If a college is looking to maintain it's admission standards, then it wouldn't let someone below their requirements in even if there are empty seats in the classroom. If the college needs the tuition money, it may lower its standards if there are not enough applicants to fill the seats.

The actual "denial" will not lower your score. However, the inquiry itself could have lowered your score, but only a few points depending on the total number of inquiries. Try to focus on the factors which might have caused the denial: newly opened accounts, poor payment history (late or missed), too many open accounts (debt-to-income ratio), or even bankruptcies or liens. Improving all of these factors, and keeping up with what is on your credit report will make it easier on future obligations. Good luck;-)

Kind of. If you have been out of college for 5 years some colleges allow a forgiveness. This means that all of your grades are gone, including the good and the bad. Check with your schools admission office to see if they offer it there. And yes you can not tell anyone that you attended a certain school but it can come back later to bite you in the butt. Good luck!

Generally the folks on the appeals board don't want to hear excuses so much as your plans for improving your grades.  Keep in mind - the University doesn't make any money by kicking you out, so they'd rather keep you there, but rules are rules.  So, you have to go through this appeals process.  For the most part, if you show some sincere effort in putting together the petition, your odds of the committee deciding in your favor are much higher.  I recommend, at a MINIMUM, three letters of support regarding your ability to succeed at college classes - only one of which (if any) should be from a family member.  If you can get the reference to give the letter to you in a sealed envelope (don't open it, of course), so much the better - it helps convince the committee that you didn't forge it.  (Which doesn't make much sense, after all - why couldn't someone just put a forged letter into an envelope?  Anyway, all I know is that it seems to help) Also, put a lot of thought into your personal essay - I'm assuming that the petition requires one.  If it doesn't, write one anyway.  You basically want to explain why you failed this semester as truthfully and briefly as possible.  Then, explain IN DETAIL your plans for improvement, (such as how much time you plan to devote to studying per week, where you're going to study, what changes you plan to make in your lifestyle, etc.).  If you do all that, I'd be shocked if they don't let you back in.  After all, Madison does have a bit of a reputation as a party school.  If they kicked everyone out for violating probation, I don't think they'd have many students left. :)    Oh, and by the way - should your appeal be rejected, look into other schools in the area.  Generally being suspended from one school does not prohibit you from taking classes at another, especially if you enroll as a non-degree seeking student at the other school (the credits will transfer regardless).  If you do well in those classes, you could appeal the suspension again at the end of that semester, with an almost guaranteed success, since you could prove you're capable of decent grades.  Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, either on here or by email:  crazyophelia42@hotmail.com  Good luck!

Definitely. More often than not, as long as you have the college application on time you are good. Even if certain documents are missing. It just means that the addmissions office will not complete the review of your application until all of the documents they need are in.

Possibly, but not much.  When applying for financial aid, you must fill out a form called a FAFSA, which is a federal form that takes into account the amount of money you have, that your parents/guardian have (if you are a dependent), and your income levels.\n\nThe feds then send that information to colleges that you are interested in applying to.  They also provide you with that information in case you decide on other colleges between when you fill out the FAFSA and when you fill out your applications.\n\nThe money that you have in a CD would be counted, but it would be counted if you simply held it in cash, too.  The only difference-maker would be the interest.

Well, if you're talking about two different classes, then the average between the two will not be bad but not be great (you'll have a C average between the two of them).  Of course, this cancelling out issue won't matter if the class you're getting an "F" in is required for graduation.  If you flunk it, you have to take it 'til you pass it.\n\nIf you're talking about taking the same class twice to improve your grade, some schools will remove the bad grade from your record completely and replace it with the new one, thus cancelling out the old one.  This is usually a VERY limited offer, only granted if the school thinks the student is really going to put in the effort to do better/improve.\n\nOtherwise, you don't really offer enough info for me to be sure what you're asking.

it depeends in your school.\nbut it may be equivalent to an A, or it may stay the same but is just regarded as higher than an A than in a regular class--for colleges

Yes.  However, most students don't make that much money, so they are usually given a full refund (and if they qualify, they may receive more than a full refund).

Its not, unless your going for top 10% or honor student so you have a better chance at scholarships.  If you just want to pass, then it doesn't really matter.  Its good practice for when you get into college (when it does matter), but other then that I wouldn't worry so long as your not in danger of failing.

i personally think it matters because it doesnt matter how smart you are, if u do bad on your acts, even the top ivy league schools will reject you, no matter how hard you try. also ACT does matter because you need a minimum number to qualify for certain colleges, certain programs, and certain scholarships. schools do care
