<p>Will a college rescind my admission if I drop physics? I meet all the other requirements, and it is the only course I plan on dropping. I seek the advice of experts of whether I should drop or stay in. </p>
<p>Probably not… but then again do they require you to take physics? If that’s a requirement, then I would not drop it and risk complications if I were you.</p>
<p>If you’ve already applied, you would need to inform them of your change in schedule. At that time, you could ask about potential ramifications.</p>
<p>They may, especially if it is a required class for the college. My friend’s D was accepted ED to a top level college. She wanted to drop one (of many) APs after the acceptance. When she called the school to see if it would be an issue, the school said that if she dropped an AP they would re-evaluate her acceptance. She decided to get a tutor and stick out the AP class rather than risk being rescinded. So bottom line, don’t drop anything until you call the school and see if it could possibly be a problem. Also see if your guidance counselor can offer any input.</p>
<p>It’s not a requirement for either my high school nor my dream school NYU. And I’ve already successfully completed 3 sciences. </p>
<p>Did you apply ED1? If not, you won’t have to worry about being rescinded because they will know your 2nd semester schedule from the application. If you will be dropping the course 2nd semester then it won’t be part of the schedule you list on the application since you decide that before app is due. So you’ll be applying with 3.5 years lab science. And you need to worry about whether or not you will be accepted. They recommend 3-4 years of lab science. And say that students who are most competitive will have 4 years in science and all the other subjects for which they say 3-4 years recommended. So in fact they recommend 4 years of everything though it is stated in a rather roundabout fashion. If you aren’t enjoying physics, is there a one semester long science class you could pick up to replace physics?</p>
<p>Sadly no. So in essence I really should stick with it. Because I did ED2. And if I want to be competitive, I really should stay in physics even if it is bringing down my GPA? No? </p>
<p>Just notify the college and ask about the ramifications. They may say that’s fine. They may say that will affect yoru admission decision. All we can do is guess.</p>
