<p>Hypothetical situation: let's say I get accepted EA, and on my midyear transcript I get one C(rest As and Bs) but my GPA actually goes up, do you guys think the admission might get revoked?</p>
<p>No, no I don't</p>
<p>From Ted O'Neill's 2009 convocation speech:</p>

We hope, just because you imagined that when you arrived you would catch a whiff of the corpse of fun, that you didn’t delay your departure. Maybe you thought you got the wrong letter! Or, that we changed our decision – we found out that you didn’t study for your calculus placement exam, or read The Iliad, or memorize French idioms, or, that we really paid attention to your spring semester C- in AP Chemistry – that instead you went to the beach, de-tassled corn, or drank a root beer – things no University of Chicago student is supposed to do. But – we don’t make mistakes, and, stare decisus –the decision stands (for the next day or so, the Latin phase newscasters will take the most pleasure in saying), stare decisus, unless you really think those old judges didn’t know what they were doing – stare decisus – “you’re stuck” is the English translation.

<p>So I'm good? (IF I get accepted in the first place)</p>
<p>So I'm good?: Yep.
(IF I get accepted in the first place): But that's the tricky part.</p>
<p>Thanks for that, idad.</p>
<p>Can't wait for MY convocation speech.</p>
<p>you're FINE. I got a c- second semester, and all of my other grades went down from 1st semester, and nothing happened. you pretty much have to fail all of your classes and/or murder someone to have your admission revoked.</p>
<p>yeah-- and colleges usually don't go so far to revoke an admission even if you fail a few classes. They'll have you write a letter, or put you on academic probation or something.</p>
<p>Friend of mine went to harvard and he took multiple C's and a waiver-fail 2nd semester of his senior year (at my hs if you waived out too late you got a waiver-fail) and didn't have any problems.</p>
<p>I think I got like a D in PreCal second semester, and still somehow managed to let them grant me a gap year. </p>
<p>So yeah, chill.</p>
