Does any one actually know someone who was rescinded?

Applying to College
1

<p>Ive heard a lot of talk about admitted applicants being rescinded, but does any one actually know someone this happened to? If so how bad were there stats.</p>

<p>P.S. i dont think this is happening to me, im just curious. Also sorry if someone has put this thread up before.</p>

<p>It’s incredibly rare. You’d be “lucky” to find one.</p>

3

<p>Thats what i was thinking. Yet everyone acts like its the plague or something. like if you get a c ur automatically getting rescinded. It seems like colleges rarely do this. Like you would have to seriously try to get rescinded</p>

4

<p>I know someone who had his admission to UNC Chapel Hill rescinded.</p>

5

<p>how bad did his grades slip?</p>

6

<p>what were the circumstances of your friend’s rescindment, dntw8up?</p>

7

<p>My friend got rescinded from UC Irvine. </p>

<p>He got a D in AP economics and enough Cs. No Fs.</p>

<p>apparently someone from my HS who went to U of Illinois had his admissions rescinded after he had physically moved into the dorm. I guess he got his final report in really late. I don’t know the specific circumstances behind it though.</p>

9

<p>He went from As and Bs to Cs and Ds. Not a bad person, he was just lazy, and colleges hate lazy.</p>

10

<p>i heard that Harvard rescinded only 1 offer of admission last year. it’s really rare.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>Wow! Are you serious?! O_O</p>

12

<p>I know of quite a few people whose admission was rescinded at Berkeley, though it’s still somewhat rare. I’ve heard of one at UCLA.</p>

<p>As my counselor half-jokingly informed me, colleges will rescind your admittance if you plagiarize, you flunk, or you kill. Hopefully, the third one isn’t the reason. The 1st one occurs to ■■■■■■■ or those who are morally inept~thats karma kicking them in their behind. The 2nd, pretty hard to do in reality. Even if you sleep in class, you could still pass.</p>

14

<p>Wouldn’t they find out about plagiarism before accepting the student?</p>

15

<p>I’ve heard stories, albeit they sounded somewhat apocryphal.</p>

16

<p>For getting into a teacher account to change grades.</p>

17

<p>Hhmmm, that would be a pretty decent reason. ^</p>

<p>Not necessarily true. 6 guys got caught doing that at my school about a month ago and none of them had offers of admission rescinded (no ivies or anything like that, but still reputable schools).</p>

<p>my teachers tell a lot of stories about kids getting rescinded from ucla and berkeley. apparently the UC’s do it a lot. One student I know was told by UCLA that he had to maintain a 2.8 unweighted (with a few AP classes) in order to keep his acceptance (but that may have been because he was getting a scholarship).
It obviously has a lot to do with how far you slip If a straight-A student slips and gets a few Bs I don’t think it’ll be a problem, but one D or F could be a different story.</p>

<p>Colleges will rescind your admission if you get put on any kind of academic or disciplinary probation after they extend you the offer. </p>

<p>A friend of mine from high school had his admission from Swarthmore rescinded when he was put on probation for moving temporary event signs around our school’s campus as part of a practical joke. The circumstances were so ridiculous that I actually called the school and spoke to our headmaster from my university to let them know how upset I and other alumni were.</p>
