<p>I was accepted Early Decision, but I want to drop one of my electives: Food Science Technology. It is a total blow off class and I would rather have an off campus period. Will this cause Rice to rescind my admission decision? I've talked to several Rice students who say no, but I don't want dropping this class to affect my standing with Rice.</p>
<p>Call the admissions office -- do not rely on CCers for accurate info</p>
<p>But when I visited campus I talked to people who had dropped classes like AP Calculus after being accepted.. hmm</p>
<p>That's silly, they don't care that much lol...I think you'll be fine</p>
<p>It is a problem only if you applied as a food science major.</p>
<p>You should notify them, definitely. I'm sure they'd let you drop that...</p>
<p>If you drop any classes, your high school is obligated to inform Rice that you have done this.
My D was accepted to WashU via early notification but not ED and the acceptance letter stated that she must NOT drop any of her current courses.
I would definitely contact Rice about this as they may not have the same requirements.</p>
<p>you never get rescinded from a college for droppin a class unless they say you must not.</p>
<p>i dropped a class and my counselor said rice will give me a "hard time" (which i dont know how) but will not rescind me...</p>
<p>Ok so is calling a bad idea? Or should I just claim ignorance?</p>
<p>Email them, then?</p>
<p>Ill just suck it up and call tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the input</p>
<p>they usually do not answer email. If they do, it'll take weeks.</p>
