Acceptance Rescinded? HELP?!?

[davidhyukjae]

<p>I'm going to be attending the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I had MAJOR senioritis and ended up with 2 Ds and 1 C in AP Calc BC, AP Macoecon, and AP Bio (respectively). I had all AP classes and my final GPA was around 3.7. I recently received an email saying that I have the chance to explain my poor grades before the Review Committee makes a decision on my admission. </p>

<p>So...three questions.
1. What are the chances of me being rescinded?
2. Around when do colleges tell you their rescind decision? I heard it can be as late as August?
3. How do colleges tell you that your admission has been rescinded? I've heard that they call? But I'm not entirely sure. </p>

<p>Thanks so much for all of your help and I look forward to hearing from people! I'm freaking out and I REALLY need advice!</p>

<p>UIUC does rescind admissions. It comes via letter, likely in July. The notice you received must be taken very seriously and you need to respond promptly with the best explanation that you can muster. They don’t like to rescind and the notice does not mean it will actually happen but two D’s, particularly one in any math class for engineering, is an issue.</p>
