<p>1 D in an honoros class…my only one i’ve ever had in high school</p>
<p>but i had good grades and GPA before this year which is why i’ll be receiving the honors diploma</p>
<p>…im so scared my acceptance will be taken away from Miami of Ohio…i even tried to
contact my admissions counselor via email but i still haven’t received an answer (its been about a week now give or take a day)…someone PLEASE tell me they won’t take away my acceptance…senioritis KILLED ME :[</p>
<p>Eight classes is what we have. Year end final grades are all A’s and one B. All but two were AP or dual credit. Knock on wood I don’t get too serious a case of senioritis next year but hopefully I’ll already be ED so no worries. </p>
<p>With my luck, even if I just thought about fudging that would be the one app they’d go over with a fine toothed comb. Besides, my big thing has always been I can’t stand liars.</p>
<p>To the students above who are freaked about grades: The ONLY cases I have ever heard of rescision is where they failed classes outright, and usually more than one. A D is not good, but in many jurisdictions that could be on a 7 point scale and what would be a C on a 10 point scale elsewhere. (This is the case where we live and the public schools are 7 point and the privates are 10 point scales. Plus the public schools dont give a plus or minus grade, its a flat A, B, C, D.) </p>
<p>You might get a letter warning you of the perils of poor scholarship and study habits but a rescission? I highly doubt it. Your grades MUST be mailed in by your registrar so send a letter in advance APOLOGIZING and PROMISING that it wont happen again and that you are really excited about attending school and buckling down to serious work. </p>
<p>A kid who got into UNC a few years ago slacked off and failed several last semester courses. They rescinded. He sued. The judge tossed the lawsuit and admonished him that admissions were not a right and they are a conditional contract.</p>
<p>Woww…but the one about falsified info is the one that strikes me the most. I wonder how serious this falsified stuff is, that colleges would kick out students for it? Like, fudging GPA, or just stretching the truth a little on ECs?
I bet it’s done more often than we think Honestly though, if you got caught… <em>shudder</em> Hate to be that kid…</p>
<p>Fudging GPA would be idiotic because schools get your transcript, but I bet a huge percentage of applicants stretch the truth on ECs. Honestly, I don’t see why, it doesn’t seem like it would be worth the risk.</p>
<p>Hello everyone,
Right now, I’m debating whether I should drop my ONLINE French III class for UCD. So far, I have pretty good grades:</p>
<p>Peer Tutor: A+
English IV: A
Economics: A
AP Biology: A-
AB Calculus: A+
AP Chemistry: D+ (<– tons of things my teacher still has yet to grade, let’s just assume I get a C or a B-)</p>
<p>The thing is, I took my language requirements for my UC application already (it’s only 2 years required) I only took online because French III at my school coincided with my AP classes… Not only that, French III only goes to my elective grades. It doesn’t even count as an a-g requirement or anything.
And now that it’s June already, I got caught up on doing other last minute homework/projects/labs that I couldn’t get to my French class.
Would it be a high chance that I get my admission rescinded?</p>
<p>I noticed that the statistic in the article linked above is the percentage of colleges rescinding for various reasons. There is nothing about how many students are rescinded. I suspect that the total numbers are very low, and that those rescinded for grades are likely students who are failing classes. The reason we don’t hear more definitive numbers is that the colleges want students to keep their grades up.</p>
<p>I hope this isn’t TOO random. I was wondering if a person’s acceptance is rescinded, can another person be accepted in their place? In other words, is it like a dog eat dog type thing?</p>
<p>I’m an upcoming senior, but I’m just really curious.</p>
<p>I don’t see why a rescinded acceptance would be any different from summer melt, in terms of decreasing the size of the entering class. If the number of students is reduced significantly, then schools might go to the WL. But for most colleges, one retracted acceptance/one fewer student isn’t that big a deal that the single retraction would lead them to accept another student.</p>
<p>I do know of a case where a friend of my son’s had to take calculus over again in summer school and his acceptance was conditional upon passing. </p>
<p>Question: is dropping a class grounds for rescinding the admissions offer?</p>
<p>I remember reading an article - can’t tell you where though…sorry, forgot - saying that a girl was thinking of dropping a class, wrote to her school and they told her she’d be much more likely to be rescinded if she dropped it. Now, that is a news article and they’re out to show you extremes, but if you don’t have a good reason for it I wouldn’t do it.</p>
<p>I have a friend who’s going to UVA, geat gpa/SAT, but he’s got a severe illness and had to drop 1/2 of his classes this year. He’s talked to UVA and they’re fine with it…though I’m still curious as to what they thinks gonna happen to him in school, heh.</p>
<p>I think you have to be really failing to have your acceptance rescinded. I knew a girl who got into a good school, and then slacked off so badly that she failed three classes, including French (and she’s bilingual, having lived in Quebec). She got screwed over in the end and had to take a gap year. But I don’t think one D will kill you in the end, especially if you write a letter with your transcript.</p>
<p>I’m really annoyed by these complainers who whine, "senioritis killed me!!! DDD: " No, you killed yourself with your own laziness. If you have your admission rescinded, that’s your own fault. I know it sounds harsh and rude, but honestly, the only “remedy” for the “disease” of senioritis is DOING YOUR WORK.</p>
<p>Josh has it right. It gets tougher, not easier from here on out. </p>
<p>What about the students who didn’t get accepted but maintained and improved their performance level? It is fair to society, the institution, and them to reward slackers who now have lower GPA’s?</p>
<p>Did anyone with a D, let alone an F, on their Junior transcript get into a top 10 school without some overwhelming tip?</p>
<p>This could be worse than having your admission rescinded because academic warnings/probations become part of your college academic record. If you are looking at grad school in the future, the application asks if you were ever placed on any type of academic warning or probation, you will always have to write addendums explaining what happened.</p>
<p>Also remember that for students hanging out on waitlists the school may request your final transcript before admitting you.</p>
Honestly though, if you got caught… <em>shudder</em> Hate to be that kid…</p>
