Ive heard a lot of talk about admitted applicants being rescinded, but does any one actually know someone this happened to?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>There was the infamous case of Gina Grant, who had her admission to Harvard rescinded when it was revealed that she had killed her own mother.</p>
<p>In fairness to Grant, it should be said that her mother was a highly abusive alcoholic. Furthermore, it is debatable as to whether Grant was under any legal obligation to disclose this information to Harvard as her juvenile court records were sealed. </p>
<p>I'm a little worried. I have a 3.96 from first 7 semesters (thats all A's with one B.)</p>
<p>Right now, I have two A's and one B in my high school classes, but I'm also taking a college course that I have a C in (on the verge of being a D.) Any chance THIS will get me rescinded?</p>
<p>I have done another college course and gotten an A, so they will be able to see that I can handle a college course, it's just this one that I am doing poorly on due to senioritis.</p>
<p>The UCs are very straightforward and upfront about what accepted students need to do in order to attend in the fall. Above a 3.0 unweighted and no D/Fs.</p>
<p>got accepted to all of my schools so far, but i'm stressed that they will rescind b/c my midterm grades were all a's but two c's (AP Stats and AP Physics) I'm not sure if they've seen my midterm grade report yet, but is it possible that they'll revoke my acceptance b/c of the two C's?</p>
<p>Wait, so quick question. I'm bit confused here.</p>
<p>1)So colleges (public and private alike) do request your 2nd semester grades?
2)If you get rescinded, is that because of your Mid-Year/1st semester grades? (say that you failed nearly all classes or something). Because there is no way a college can rescind you for your 2nd semester grades (if they don't ask for them).</p>
<p>A girl from my school got into JHU ED and then she just kind of stopped coming to school. I heard stuff about her being in school only 33 days second semester, not to mention she failed at least one class.</p>
<p>I know someone, I just don't know who it is. Older S's GC told me that "a student" in S's small IB class was rescinded after plagiarizing their extended essay. The college was a top tier one that also had offered the student major merit aid. Student's parents tried to get the college to reinstate admission and the scholarship, but the college refused.</p>
<p>what i don't understand is why lazy kids have such a burning desire to get into ivy league/top tier schools? why would you want to put yourself in a situation where you clearly are going to receive a heavy workload and will need to study in place of partying in order to succeed. these types of kids are obviously not going to these schools for themselves but to please their parents or some other outside party, and i find this really sad. kids should be able to do well without cheating, and if they earn Bs instead of As, then that's terrific and nothing to be ashamed of. parents need to stop trying to succeed through their kids and lay off the pressure.</p>
<p>Well there was the case of Azia Kim who had been living on the Stanford campus and was well known to a few fellow students there. She had her "living situation" rescinded when it was discovered that she actually wasn't a student. This didn't have anything to do with her grades, though, since she had never actually been admitted. Also, she lost her ROTC gear as reported in the story below. ;)</p>
<p>I know two kids who had acceptances rescinded. They were involved in a four person cheating incident where they received advance knowledge of a math problem and attempted to exploit this advantage. The incident happened before Christmas break, but the hearing and suspension did not happen until January so both kids were locked in as well which makes it suck even more. The first guy had a likely letter to Princeton. I know it's not technically an acceptance, but I saw his letter of rescission or whatever, and it said that he was no longer a likely candidate for admission and that he had been deferred like every other normal student. The other guy had his acceptance to Georgetown taken away and he was deferred to the regular round as well. All of this was because they cheated on a 7 point problem on a multivariable calculus test, poetic irony at it's finest I guess.</p>
<p>Last year, a girl applied to SDSU and was accepted. She told her other colleges that she wasn't attending them. And right before the summer started, SDSU told her that the chemistry class she took didn't have a lab, so they'd have to rescind her for not meeting admission requirements.</p>
<p>She now attends our local junior college, but has a very good chance of transferring to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Though I personally have not heard any cases about admission to colleges being rescinded, I have heard multiple instances of students losing their scholarships following unsatisfactory grades in their senior year. The guidance counselors at my school seem to emphasize to all the seniors the importance of maintaining high grades to fulfill scholarship requirements.</p>
<p>I'm just curious: do the colleges actually talk to you before they rescind you, so if you have a really good reason why your grades dropped, you have a chance to explain it to them? Or do they just rescind you and that's it, and you get no chance to explain the reasons to anybody?</p>
