<p>I hear colleges can rescind = to take back and make void of your admission like in June!</p>
<p>How can this happen? If I quit school after I got accepted or I commit a serious crime?</p>
<p>Has anyone heard about something like that and if yes why did the person get his application rescinded?</p>
<p>Lets say I am an IB student my school send predicted grades in December 05 and the results only come out in June 06 the results were a bit bellow the predicted can they rescind my application?</p>
<p>Every acceptance from every college contains a paragraph that they can rescind your acceptance if you do not continue your excellent record throughout the rest of your senior year, and that you graduate.</p>
<p>In actual practice, the acceptances are almost never rescinded. There has been a lot of discussion on CC lately about what would happen if someone got a bad AP score. This would never cause a school to rescind an acceptance. If you got into Harvard with a 4.0, then a couple of C's might cause them to reevaluate you, but I've never heard of this happening. Probably the only reasons they would rescind your acceptance would be:</p>
<p>1) a total gpa failure
2) not graduating
3) being caught cheating
4) judicial action such as a drug conviction</p>
<p>I have heard that a terrible senior year might result with you starting freshman year on academic probation at the college. </p>
<p>In all honesty, they can rescind your 'application' at any point they'd like, between now and 30 years from now. It gets harder and harder to do as time goes on, but if the infraction during or before your time at the institution is severe enough, they reserve the right to rescind your degree.</p>
<p>If you get rescinded, you're stuck without a college. That means reapplying. For grade concerns, they can rescind as late as when they receive your final transcripts. For any crime-related infractions, they can rescind when they hear of it. Cheating, at any point in time between now and graduation from the college, will get ANYTHING rescinded if they hear about it.</p>
<p>Yes. It can happen...and certainly not just at Yale. In this case last year it was a great kid, solid GPA, rescinded by Cal State Long Beach due to a "D" in a non-required math course senior year.</p>
<p>dartmouth's admission letter says nothing about its admission being contingent on us keeping up our grades. although i'm sure that's implied, i just found it kind of weird that they don't bother to put a one-liner that says that.</p>
<p>I heard once that there was this girl who planned to attend Harvard, but then they found out that she brutally killed her mother in 7th grade. They rescinded her application not because of the matricide, but because she had lied about not having a criminal record. So it's OK if you kill your mom, just don't lie about it. (?)</p>
<p>Tufts still let her in, though. I hate to be a sensationalist, but can't you just imagine finding out that your roomate is that handy with a candlestick?</p>
<p>I think that if your real IB scores were WELL below your predicted, (like if you were predicted a 40 and you ended up with a 20 and failed - at any rate, not a likely situation), there'd be a chance they'd take back their offer of admission...but i feel like the chances are they would just put you on academic probation.</p>

<p>The full story is that the girl had been seriously abused by her mother. There's a chance that if the girl had told the truth on the application, Harvard would have accepted her. She had documented abuse by the mother, and after being convicted, the girl was given extensive mental health treatment including, I think, in a facility for people who had committed crimes. The girl had been given a clean bill of health afterward.</p>
<p>The girl ended up at Tufts, which accepted her knowing the full circumstances, including about the Harvard rescinsion of admission. The girl was put in a single room.</p>
<p>Last story I read about her, which was a couple of years ago, the girl was a soph there, was doing fine, and was described by classmates as quiet and well liked.</p>
<p>ahhh now I'm worried I'll do badly on my IB exams and Brown won't want me anymore.. I don't think I failed.. but what if I did? what if something went completely wrong and I end up failing and not getting my diploma?</p>

Calm down. I'm sure that you failing your exams and not graduating from high school is less likely than being a fatal car crash. Take each day at a time. I can safely say that you won't go to college if you don't get your high school diploma, but keep things in perspective. Sometimes things go completely wrong and you die or are paralyzed for life. Sometimes things go completely wrong and you take classes over the summer or take a gap year. :)</p>
<p>Brown won't care how you did on your AP or IB exams except to figure out whether you get credit for the courses or get to place out of some Brown courses.</p>
<p>What Brown and other universities care about are your final grades in your classes in h.s.</p>
