<p>I am in my first semester of my senior year and have missed quite a bit of school (excused) and am having trouble making up the work for the classes, and may end up getting a D in one class or two. The rest of my grades, while not D's, will not be what they were the past three years. (I maintained a 4.0 GPA)</p>
<p>I didn't apply anywhere that was too selective/competitive.<br>
Elmhurst College
UW-Whitewater
UIC
Coe
Augustana
Southern Ill
Northern Ill
Illinois State</p>
<p>And of the acceptances I have gotten so far, none of the letters have mentioned anything about maintaining a certain GPA or anything beyond graduating, really. So my question is: will these schools still possibly rescind my admission?</p>
<p>My graduation is not an issue. I have almost all required credits and am passing all of the necessary classes with flying colors.</p>
<p>Certainly each school has policies in place where they can rescind someone. The reasons vary: student falling off academic cliff, felony conviction, expulsion, discovery of fraudulent application materials, etc.</p>
<p>Your real question is: what is the trigger point?</p>
<p>Also, recission isn’t the only reply. Often schools may admit someone under a probationary status where perhaps a min GPA is expected or you get dropped after 1st semester, etc.</p>
<p>Given your otherwise solid academic performance and the selectivity levels of the schools, I’m sure there’s wiggle room even if you get the ‘D’. But perhaps a telephone call by your GC to your top choices’ admissions offices may be of assistance</p>
<p>Depending on the reason for your absences, you may be able to arrange an Incomplete in the worst courses, and finish the work up later in the school year. Speak with your counselor about that.</p>
<p>To your credit you say this isn’t slacking off, its the result of excused absences. Fine, but you need to find out what effect it might have. This is where you either have your GC pick up the phone and call, or get in touch yourself. Doing nothing and hoping for the best is not a good strategy. Suppose you end up accepting an offer of admission at a school that rescinds you. This will happen in July or August, and at that point you may not have any other options for attending a 4-year college.</p>
<p>From expirences with friends who have applied and gone to those schools, I don’t think they’ll rescind your acceptence. I know people who after having been accepted to those schools dropped all their APs and pretty much just stopped showing up to school all together, and no one ever even said anything about getting even a warning or anything like that. They aren’t super highly selective colleges so as long as you did good throughout the rest of high school and didn’t just “barely” get it, I can’t imagine all of them rescinding you. Of course you don’t want to fail everything. But I really doubt a D would effect you that much.</p>
