Is it possible to get tutoring to bring those grades up by Feb.? If you work very hard you can probably do it! I don’t know about admissions standards at Idyllwild, but I am guessing that you would not be an appealing applicant with 2 failing grades. If they do not gain acceptance, you can try again the next year, showing them how you brought your grades up. Good luck!
