<p>Ok so Binghsmton was one of my top choices and I plan on possibly attending this up-coming year. My senior year grades actually started off pretty decent, but they absolutely plummeted third marking quarter. Although I got As in gym and orchestra (not sure if that helps my case all that much) I got a 70 in AP physics, a 68 in AP Gov, a 73 in AP Calc, and a 71 in english. My average is a 71 (unweighted) for the quarter and I'm pretty freaked out, not to mention ****ed off at myself. If anyone knows how likely college acceptances being revoked from Binghamton are, I will really REALLY appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Unless you flat out fail I don’t think Binghamton would retract an offer unless they specifically noted conditions on it, which is sometimes the case. I might follow up with them to be sure.</p>
<p>More worrisome I would think is the fact you bombed your classes. Was/is there something going on causing this? The second you enter university your grades will stay with you for the rest of your life, they wont disappear like the little old high school credits will. Do not enter university with the mentality that “C’s get degrees” because I’ll tell you, yeah they do. But C’s do not get jobs, nor graduate school offers. Be ready, hit the ground running. Sounds like you may have just taken on to much and not prepared enough? Don’t sweat it, calm down and just do better with the fresh start presented to you with university.</p>
<p>The only thing causing this is me not working. I’m mad at myself and not sure if I have the time to turn it around 4th quarter (I’ve been doing about as badly since it started and there are only two weeks left). What do you mean by specifically noted conditions? I’m not sure if colleges see the comments the teachers put on the report cards, but trust me the comments were probably worse than the actual grades. </p>
<p>By the way, thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate the answer, and I;m much calmer than before.</p>
<p>Also how sure are you of this? Ive heard that kids losing acceptances is kind of common. And what about academic probation? Sorry if I seem anxious but my parents are on my ass and I had my whole next four years planned out.</p>
<p>You need to figure out how to turn your grades around. The first thing you need to do is go talk to each of your teachers and try to figure out what is going wrong. Then ask either work with them or get a fellow student to tutor you. You need to be able to do this because when you go to college it will be even worse…nobody on your case to study. Also talk to your parents and have them help you come up with a studying plan.
Figure out what “fun” and extra curricular things you really want to do, and then drop the rest for now. Set up a homework time where you do not have the TV on or Facebook or the like up. Maybe find someone to study with.</p>
<p>They only revoke acceptances under extreme circumstances. Sorry to say it, but your situation may fall under the category of “extreme circumstances.” </p>
<p>Call the Binghamton admissions office and provide them with an explanation for the decline (e.g. “I started slacking and I regret it. I’m not ever doing it again.”) If you’re not brave enough to contact the office, tell your guidance counselor in school to do it, though this is the less preferable option. </p>
<p>Next, make a plan to step your grades up for next quarter. Let the admissions office at Binghamton know that you are going to improve next quarter when you contact it. </p>
<p>Then you should pray every time you approach your mailbox that a revocation letter isn’t inside.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry as long as you don’t fail. Study and get high scores on you Ap’s and Good luck</p>
<p>Dudecollege, how much do you know about college acceptances being revoked? Do you know for a fact that a low average could cause an acceptance to be rescinded from an institution like Binghamton, or are you just making an assumption?</p>
<p>you didnt fail any classes so i wouldnt worry</p>
<p>The rule of thumb: If your average drops a full letter grade (A to B) or more, you’re at risk. Also, any D or F is very risky. </p>
<p>I know all of this because some of my stupid friends who decided to slack off completely senior year needed their guidance counselors to cover their asses. Two of these friends actually received warning letters from the universities they applied to! One of them got by unscathed while the other was on academic probation his first semester, which will always be on his college transcript. </p>
<p>Hey, if you keep it up, there’s always community college, my friend. ;)</p>
