Ok, I have somewhat of a situation that I'm a little worried about and I was hoping someone could possibly provide some insight into what would be best for me to do.
I have already recieved my appointment to USAFA but I am worried about the status of one of the classes I am currently taking. The class is at our local community college and, due to a misunderstanding between myself and my teacher, I ended up getting a very small amount of partial credit for our major research paper. The paper is a large portion of our grade and because of the fact I recieved very little credit for it, I am in danger of getting a D in the class. My ALO advised me to definitely avoid getting any D's in accordance with the "Continued Excellence" condition stated in the appointment letter. If however I was to get a D in the class, it would still show up as a 70 on my high school transcript. Friday is the last day to drop the class and if I did so I could take a test through my school, giving me credit for the class.
So, my question is, since it is a class taken for dual credit at community college and it would show up as a 70 on my HS transcript, would getting a D in the class put me in danger of losing my appointment? If I did end up dropping the class and getting credit by exam would that be looked upon negatively by the Academy?
