<p>If you've already been accepted into your schools of choice, does senior year really matter? Would a college rescind acceptance if you a student were to get B's/C's?</p>
<p>Each college has its own conditions of admission. For most schools the conditions are
- Maintain a 3.0 unweighted GPA
- Don’t get lower than a C in any class
- Don’t get suspended, arrested, etc
Violation of any of these conditions could result in a college rescinding your admission. However these matters are handled on a case by case basis -if you have a legitimate reasons for violating any of these conditions you migh not get rescinded. Additionally if you’re a B/C student, dropping to all Cs won’t necessarily be a big deal while an A student dropping to all Cs will raise red flags. </p>
<p>Thresholds for rescission vary. Check the admission offer from each school.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, sometimes kids that treat it like it doesn’t matter let things get away from them and sometimes end up with Ds and get rescinded. Read all about it right here.</p>
<p>I attended one of the admitted student visit last week with my D. I was slightly surprised that UMich CoE revokes around 50 admitted students every year, that is almost 2% of the class.</p>
<p>^^Good news for those on the waitlist!</p>
<p>Now there’s a strategy - “Hey Joe, I’ve really got to study for this test, since I’m still on the Harvard waitlist, but you’re already in, so you can blow off this class.”</p>
<p>^^ Not really. Just like the number of declined students, they may have already figured it in the yield rate. I remember a couple years ago the yield rate at UMich was higher than expected (bounced back from 40.8 to 41.5%) and there were too many freshmen that year. And that happened a few times in my memory here. So it seems they tend to admit more students than they should. Waitlist admission is very rare at all top schools. Nevertheless, a lower than expected yield rate may open the gate to a few lucky ones in the WL.</p>
