<p>Hey, what does it take to get an admission decision revoked? I am talking about really good schools, like boston college, northeastern, Santa Clara.... schools like that. If a high school student was to get caught drinking before a school dance, would that really effect your acceptance to college? I mean yea you get suspended for like 2 days but do you think that most colleges would revoke your acceptance if they found out you got suspended for drinking before a school dance? A couple kids have been caught for drinking before a dance and I was just wondering if you think that they will get their acceptance revoked because my high school is required to tell colleges about this sort of stuff.</p>
<p>the only situation i know of similar to that is the stud football player from my school last year had several D-I offers--from well respected academic schools such as Michigan, Berkeley, Boston College, UMiami--and would have likely been accepted even without the scholarships, but they helped. anyway, on a visit to a D-II school went to a party and got busted for drinking. schools were notified, didn't do anything. later in the year got busted over spring break because he was drinking in the SAME bar as a teacher from our school (umm....duh) in Florida. schools notified, nothing happened. 3rd time, after prom party pictures end up on myspace and somebody turns the kids in, he gets busted a 3rd time and lost all scholarships. however his admission was NOT revoked. he could've attended but w/o a scholarship. so atleast at Boston College they're probably okay</p>
<p>Okay I still want to hear other people's thoughts, but I am just talking about what would happen if a "normal" kid was caught drinking at this high school dance. If this student was just an average kid who got accepted to the school, he wasnt an athlete and didnt have a scholarship, just a normal kid. So what do you think would happen?</p>
<p>I don't think drinking at a hs dance would get an admission revoked. Dropping from A/B to C/D on report card probably would get you revoked. Or being expelled for bringing a weapon to school (or being expelled for any reason, come to think of it). Being arrested & convicted might too, depending what you did.</p>
<p>But to err on the safe side.... don't drink and dance!</p>
<p>Yeah dude it's a bummer to have to constantly worry about getting admissions revoked for some reason...my whole life I thought senior year was just gonna be an easy year of just having to pass required courses and taking multiple off periods...boy was I wrong...anyways just try not to worry about it, it'll drive you insane</p>
<p>I have a friend who got accepted to Emory ED who changed her Physics class from honors to regular for second semester. She notified Emory about the change and she got a letter in the mail from the Dean of Admissions saying that her acceptance would get revoked because of the change. She is now taking honors physics again.</p>
<p>Not really. Emory is a very competitive university and they aren't going to accept students who decide to slack off second semester. Sure, it's a bit extreme, but I wouldn't say it's a joke.</p>
<p>If it were any other non-'elite' university, then I would agree.</p>
<p>I hardly think that taking regular physics is "slacking off," as compared to honors physics.</p>
<p>It really isn't, I don't think it's a big deal either. But as I said, Emory is a top ranked university, so it's not THAT surprising that they did it.</p>
<p>Oh well, that's why I didn't drop any classes, don't want to take any chances/</p>
<p>yeah u just gotta take hard classes again, like AP's and honors, and not get D's and F's. You can get a C, for UC's that I know, as long as it's 3.0 UW.</p>
<p>three of my grades for second semester are going to get lower...
for physics, i'm going to go from a C to a D...
for apush, i'm going to go from an A to a B...
for ap spanish, i'm going to go from an A (i got an A for first semester, but got a B for third quarter) to a C.
... am i going to get my acceptance revoked????!!!</p>
<p>Collegegurl, it depends largely on the school, and what the semester GPA you expect to earn is.</p>
