i just recieved a letter from UNC Chapel Hill saying that my admission has been suspeded and could be revoked because of my final transscript. I got 2 D’s in AP Statistics and AP Spanish, and C’s in AP Physics C and AP English 12. I have to write them a letter telling them my circumstances and also go have a meeting with them. What are the possibilites of me having my admission revoked? Please help!!!
<p>why would you not care second semester?????</p>
<p>wow that's pretty bad</p>
<p>thank you guys, i know its bad but i cant do anythign about it now, i went to the hardest school in North carolina, and there were some other circumstances can any one actually answer my questions?</p>
<p>darsh,
You may be interested in this. ( This kid had a 1600 SAT.)
He tried challenging it in court.</p>
<p>2.75 with 3 C's, 2 D's, and a F. How do you get a 2.75 with that? </p>
<p>At my school, that would be a 1.3.</p>
<p>that is a 1.3 but the 2.75 was his final highschool GPA, does anyone know what he did when his admission was suspeneded?, i have some different circumstances than he does, the class average for my AP spanish class was a C-. also i have family issues meaning my grandfather come to america to vist and fell very ill which put alot of stress on the family, and i joined the school sports to see what it would be like but realized that i was pulling my self in too many directions.</p>
<p>Another interesting look at this case.

<p>What were the circumstances? That's insane.</p>
<p>so apprently that guy didnt say anyhting but sorry when he had to send in his letter and have his meeting?</p>
<p>From another article: </p>
<p>"Yes, the family is suggesting things about health/family problems, but apparently those didn't impress the UNC people during the meeting."</p>
<p>so sokkermom i guess im not gettting out of this predicament</p>
<p>darsh, you still haven't explained what the cirucmstances were. What caused you to do that badly?</p>
<p>I don't know darsh. The only reason I remember this case is because it was in the media a lot when kid #1 was looking at applying to schools, and UNC was on his list. </p>
<p>Have you talked to your school Guidance Department? Maybe they would have some suggestions. You may have signed something that said that you understood that you had an obligation to keep up the same quality of effort as when you applied, or something to that effect. If so, you may have a tough battle. Unfortunately (for you), this case may have set a precedent at UNC.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I would take responsibility for everything and beg. There is a middle of the road approach where they do not revoke the acceptance, but they admit you on academic probation. I would not expect them to take your final senior transcript without comment.</p>
<p>i hope you have a legitimate excuse for doing so bad, otherwise there's no real reason for them to take you at all</p>
<p>You asked about your chances of having your admission revoked. The truth is, that unless you were severely ill and missed most of your senior year, the chances are quite good that your admission will be rescinded. I would suggest telling the truth...don't make up excuses or UNC will see right through it. What are you doing this summer? You might consider taking a CC course in one of the subjects you did poorly in and GETTING A GOOD GRADE to prove your commitment.</p>
<p>darsh - Along with dufus3709's excellent advice to "take responsibility for everything and beg". If you are within driving distance of UNC - Chapel Hill, I recommend that you make an appointment immediately with the Office of Admissions and go there personally to make your case. Of course, complete the explanation form exactly as UNC instructed you to do and e-mail/snail mail it back to them, but also demonstrate (and bring a copy of your explanation form with you) by "going the extra mile" with this face-to-face meeting with an Ad Com appointment representative. Be confident, be contrite and "take responsibility". Be ready to do whatever they say (such as being on probation your first semester) to get back in the university's good graces, and then do it!</p>
<p>Darsh,</p>
<p>Sorry you were the one to be caught up in all of this. I guess that you are living proof that the admissions letter stating that you are expected to graduate at the same level of perfromance for which you were admitted is not just lip service. You and many other seniors think that this kind of thing just does not happen and you have now found that it does indeed happen because it has happened to you.</p>
<p>As lonestardad and Dufus stated, you need to just suck it up and take responsibility for your your behavior. Be contrite negotiate your deal , fess up to excercising bad jusdgement, offer to meet with their academic advisor whatever ti takes.</p>

<p>As I read your reasons for your grades falling it seems that you are grasping at straws to come up with an excuse. Your grades did not fall ovenight and I am sure there was a time you saw this coming. You know for your self how much of an effort if any you were making in this class. If these were happening to you, I can't understand why you did not see your teacher who would have probably worked with you, or especially consulted your GC who could have written a letter and sent it with your final transcript explaining your situation.</p>
<p>I also agree with quiltguru, that you should be going / or should have registered for the courses at community college as an effort to show that you were taking ownership for what happened and show the school that even though you did do poorly that you were proactive in taking the necessary steps to turn things around.</p>
<p>Question, Even though your final grades were rather abysmal, did your school still allow you to graduate? If your school did not let you graduate that could also be the reason your admission was rescinded.</p>
<p>I agree with sybbie. You need to not sound like you are making excuses. If somebody almost died, then use that as a reason, but have your GC present it in addition to only you saying it.</p>
<p>The college is going to be much less interested in what happened in your senior year than what is likely to happen in your freshman year at college. If you go into the conversation sounding like you are with the grading was really tough in the one course and my grandfather was sick and I started playing sports, you will be dead man. You have to tell them that you totally screwed up, that it was a horrible, unbelievable mistake, and that it will never happen again, especially in freshman year. Saying anything else will just indicate to them that you have not learned anything from what happened.</p>
<p>If your GC or anyone else in authority can supply help, I would do that, too.</p>
