<p>well, read that link by miaoling... and copycats are generally hated....</p>
<p>she copied other people's writing and passed it off as her own in a new paper column. SHe also sued the school because she wasn't the sole valedictiorian (that would've <em>ed me off if I had been the other person.) in our school like 20 people are valedictorian so... *</em>?</p>
<p>My s and some of his friends were recently lamenting this whole revokation issue because not too long ago (2003/04?) there was a rukus about a local kid who has had his admission to UNC-Chapel Hill revoked and unsuccessfully sued them to be re-instated. This guy (Mark Edmunson?) scored 1600 on his SAT, did well in all kinds of AP tests, but his GPA slipped from 3.8 to 3.5 his senior year. Why? His senior year GPA: 1.3 (c's, d's, f's).</p>
<p>"Senioritis: In advanced stages, it may be fatal
The Chapel Hill Herald
Seniors at Northwest High School in Greensboro had a simple rule to follow this past school year....In those cases, the students had a chance to explain why the grades slipped. Just a few ultimately had their admission revoked, said Jerry Lucido, UNC's director of undergraduate admissions."</p>
<p>hehe serves him right. with a 1.3 there is no chance in hell that he will not be revoked</p>
<p>I've known people who had it threatened, but they were able to plead their case.</p>
<p>with a 1.3? chanceless</p>
<p>Read the article, sorry. Blair shouldn't have been the sole valedictorian since she was able to take an AP class in place of her gym requirements and gym carries much less credit than an AP course. The school should have just given her AP class the same credit as a gym class then she couldn't argue. It's not like she wasn't going to be valedictorian at all. Where is she now?</p>
<p>I know someone who was accepted to Colorado School if Mines, dropped a PE class this time of year last year, and had it revoked. Went to CU Boulder instead</p>
<p>"The school should have just given her AP class the same credit as a gym class then she couldn't argue."</p>
<p>All schools should just take out gym grades when calculating GPA...just makes everything so much easier.</p>
<p>i'm scared-not of grades, but what i wrote on my UC app- i put down AP Gov for both semesters in senior year as inprogress/planned but in reality my school only offers AP Gov first semester with Economics on the transcript 2nd sem (altho gov is still taught in preparation for the ap test). am i screwed??</p>
<p>infamy: My school does that too, but I think I put it down correctly. If I had messed up, I would contact the admissions office, and let them know, but I wouldn't worry about having my admission revoked. After all, everyone makes mistakes.</p>
<p>[EDIT: Actually, I checked my app, and there's no way I could've messed up. The list of courses to choose from was gathered from my high school, so the only option was "American Government / Economics". I don't how it works at your school, though.]</p>
<p>infamy, thats right. People sdo mess up... they would be happy if you called/emailed them then letting them find out later on ur final transcript. email them now saying u thought this but it turned out like this and u will take this instead etc...</p>
<p>Hey, I have mostly B's and some B-'s first and 2nd marking period. 3rd marking period i got one C+ in ap gov. What are the chances of my admissions being revoked? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Going to China for 3 weeks for a medical internship...</p>
<p>It totally does happen it happened to two kids last year in our school, one for grades that fell quite a bit and the other was grades and some behavioral issues of some sort, we keep getting warnings about working hard and keeping up our grades, err on the side of caution.</p>
<p>But does anyone know if my grades are too low? Please help</p>
<p>If you had one grade fall from a B- to a C+ for one marking period, I would say the chances of your admission being revoked are around 0%.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what my chances are?? help!</p>
<p>tank: 0% chance of having your admission revoked. Relax.</p>
<p>Thank you so much</p>
