<p>What did the university say? Where you able to bring them about on this?</p>
<p>This mostly happens when seniors (high school) take the senior off, slack off (senioritis,no?) and their grades drop over the course of the spring semester.</p>
<p>Any tragic stories, here?</p>
<p>My friend almost got her admission revoked... she had a "D" for one of her first semester courses and admissions policy allowed no more than 2C's per semester and no D's/F's. She was forced to re-take the class at a JC/CC during the summer. So yeah close call. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>This gets asked every year, mostly around mid-April/May when kids are finishing up their finals of senior year in hs. </p>
<p>And while everyone has "stories" they heard from other people, VERY few claim to actually personally know someone who was revoked from their university. I can recall of no one who's actually experienced it (or is willing to admit it happened to them).</p>
<p>I don't think it happens much. I got a C- in my math class senior year and Berkeley didn't give a crap. So there. You have one example of someone who did quite poorly but it actually didn't matter. Now who's going to share a story in which someone they know personally did poorly and WAS revoked.</p>
<p>It has to be a major drop. Like say you go from a B to a C+ in a class, the college you sent that registration fee to won't change their minds over that, but if you went from a B to an F, then they'll send you a warning or just a letter saying something like "you were told in your acceptance letter that your acceptance into our school was dependent on you maintaining your grades through graduation. You didn't do that, so we are rescinding our offer. Sorry." I don't know this from experience, but I heard plenty of horror stories during my senior year of past students who didn't take that statement seriously and treated everyday of senior year after sending in a deposit like a party. They didn't do ANYTHING, and they lost their offers of admission. But, as I said, it takes more than going from an A to a B in a class to have this happen. Just keep doing the work for easy classes and continue working hard in more difficult classes. Keep Cs to a minimum and avoid Ds and Fs at all costs.</p>
<p>It's mostly there to scare you so you don't slack off your senior year and go into freshman year rusty.</p>
<p>Yes. (But not me)</p>
<p>most schools will consider revoking ur admissions if you get D's or F's. The UC's will revoke you for sure for D's and F's and require that you keep your unweighted gpa above 3.0</p>
<p>It's just a scare, isn't it?</p>
<p>yeah, dinnie, just a scare.

For the first time, the University of Washington is systematically revoking the admission of high-school students who slack off during their senior year. The UW plans to get even tougher next year. From <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lybdy%5B/url%5D%5B/quote%5D">http://tinyurl.com/lybdy

"We want the students to be prepared. The biggest reason students fail in college is their preparation in secondary school," said Jim Blackburn, a CSU enrollment director whose 23 campuses have been trying to reduce the number of freshmen needing remedial courses.</p>
<p>He said the university rescinded about two dozen acceptance letters at each campus for this year, and sometimes more, including 63 at San Francisco State University and 43 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley canceled 37 offers of admission. UCLA canceled 73 freshmen admission offers.
