Denied admission after Being Accepted

<p>I have had straight A's all my High School career. Do you think that getting a B or B+ in one or two of my classes at the end of my senior year affect my admissions decision??
I mean they said at the end of the accepteance letter that "admission is contingent upon your completing the school year with flying colors"</p>

<p>One or two Bs in 4 years is STILL “completing the school year with flying colors.”</p>

<p>I think B’s are likely fine. Many students are accepted with quite a few B’s.</p>

<p>Sorry for the following hijack.</p>

<p>What about A’s in all other classes and straight C’s in Physics? </p>

<p>I really, really cannot do any better. I’ve been getting C’s all year; MIT just hasn’t seen then because I was accepted EA. I’m actually more worried about failing my classes at MIT than I am about being rescinded.</p>

<p>I’m also feeling the same way lol I got my first B last grading period. </p>

<p>What 's your schedule though?</p>

<p>oh, did you know that you don’t need a high school diploma to enroll at MIT?</p>

<p>“Denied admission after Being Accepted” Can they do that?</p>

<p>They can but it doesn’t happen often.
(my uncle works for MIT and he told me this rarely happens)</p>

<p>@Millancad,
This is AP Physics? When you get to MIT you can take the physics assessment (I don’t recall what it’s called) and that will give you good information about which level would be best. There are various levels, not all hair-raising. MIT students can tell you about this at CPW, if you’re going.</p>

<p>plus what would happen if you already committed to them and withdrew the rest of your acceptances? MIT can’t leave you college-less…or would they?</p>

<p>They won’t… unless you kill someone and get caught. Or you don’t graduate… or something ridiculous like that.</p>

<p>I think all colleges just say they would to keep you from getting senioritis :).</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the only way they would revoke admission (read: I’m talking about revoking RD decision here, not EA in the period between December and May) is unless you burn down your school, become a hopeless drug addict, get arrested, or do a combination of all three and MIT finds out about it.</p>

<p>Otherwise, you’ll be fine. Just don’t *FAIL<a href=“lit.”>/i</a> your second semester classes. : )</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I would like to point out that the current blogger Yan dropped out of high school as soon as she discovered that she has gotten into MIT EA, and I know at least one other person that did the same after finding out RD. : P (MIT doesn’t actually require a high school diploma)</p>

<p>Yan also asked first and enrolled in college courses, IIRC.</p>

<p>If you drop out of school to sit in your parents’ basement and play videogames, that’s a little different than dropping out to work or to take higher-level courses. And if you are going to drop out, you should inform MIT first.</p>

<p>LOL That would really suck hahaha :[</p>

<p>I’m actually really, really, really worried about this. Since I got into MIT I’ve been focusing on learning to cook, getting back in shape, other things I’ll need in order to survive on my own in Boston, and I’ve been spending more time on research. I’m also self-studying 6 AP exams, and my grandfather just got skin cancer so I’m spending more time with family and helping out around the house. I’m taking all college courses this semester, and I’m afraid that I might get some Cs (not B, C), particularly in one course that’s senior-level. Will MIT take rescind my admission? =(</p>

<p>They’ll probably send a letter asking you to explain yourself before taking any action.</p>

<p>i am guessing the worst scenario would be they put you under high academic advising for the first term or something</p>

<p>I was actually very worried about that, but after all your comments I think I am gonna relax a little bit, but not too much</p>

<p>the only strict rules on this matter that I have seen are the UC schools in california.</p>

<p>At UC Berkeley and UCLA you need at least an unweighted 3.0 each of the 2 semesters senior year not to get rescinded.</p>

<p>At the other UC’s its a 3.0 weighted for the whole senior year…</p>

<p>much of this is because they don’t look at Senior year grades when they accept you.</p>

<p>Oh, and D’s might be a reason to be rescinded.</p>
