<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Ive heard a lot of talk about admitted applicants being rescinded, but does any one actually know someone this happened to?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>
<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 like if you get a c ur automatically getting rescinded.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 Like you would have to seriously try to get rescinded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>
<p>I know someone who had his admission to UNC Chapel Hill rescinded.</p>
<p>how bad did his grades slip?</p>
<p>what were the circumstances of your friend's rescindment, dntw8up?</p>
<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My friend got rescinded from UC Irvine.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apparently someone from my HS who went to U of Illinois had his admissions rescinded after he had physically moved into the dorm.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>
<p>He went from As and Bs to Cs and Ds. Not a bad person, he was just lazy, and colleges hate lazy.</p>
<p>i heard that Harvard rescinded only 1 offer of admission last year. it's really rare.</p>

<p>Wow! Are you serious?! O_O</p>
<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I know of quite a few people whose admission was rescinded at Berkeley, though it's still somewhat rare.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 retards 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>
<p>Wouldn't they find out about plagiarism before accepting the student?</p>
<p>I've heard stories, albeit they sounded somewhat apocryphal.</p>
<p>For getting into a teacher account to change grades.</p>
<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necessarily true. 6 guys got caught doing that at my school about a month ago and none of them had offers of admission rescinded (no ivies or anything like that, but still reputable schools).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my teachers tell a lot of stories about kids getting rescinded from ucla and berkeley.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>
