Is it true about Stanford...

<p>Is it true that ONE C in a class = rescinded? The class is an AP class, btw.</p>

<p>Please, being rescinded is the least of your worries. I would be more concerned about the hitmen Stanford sends out to annihilate all students who get a C and erase all traces of them, thus avoiding the shame the university would otherwise face if the knowledge that they had ever accepted such an applicant became public.</p>

<p>Seriously, chill out. If you deserved the C, then talk to your GC. Stanford might want to know what's happening, and you should have a reason. If there are extenuating circumstances, that will be even easier to explain.</p>

<p>Yeah, if you have some sort of underground bomb shelter, that might help save you and your family and friends from Stanford's AdComs.</p>

<p>How about you try to get that C up? They won't care, but in the almost-nonexistent possibility that they do, just tell them why.</p>

<p>I doubt you'd get rescinded for a single C... you might not even get a "we're dissapointed letter." But, to play it safe, try to get that grade up and shoot high for next quarter.</p>

<p>My good friend, accepted to Stanford SCEA last year, had an outstanding Senior Year, except for one C in AP Spanish. He was very sick, and he was kind of a goofy kid, so his teacher didn't believe him, and wouldn't let him make up what he missed, so his average was crushed.</p>

<p>Of course, Stanford didn't take this excuse to heart.</p>

<p>They sent they entire Leland Stanford Junior University marching band after him, and, well, when they had finished, there was hardly anything left of him. Closed-casket funeral sort of a deal. I think they ultimately buried a rib cage with half of a tuba inside of it.</p>

<p>I doubt it too, but someone from my school was very afraid of being rescinded for a C+ in a math course...I don't know if she had specific reasons, however. I guess rescinding for one bad grade is pretty darn harsh, given how hard it is to get in, so I'd hope not.</p>

<p>They don't "rescind" you, they just ask you to take a year off and take the class over at a accredited college and write an essay about it and they will consider giving you a place next year.</p>

<p>This is from first hand knowledge from a friend at my school who had this happen to him due to a C in Work Experience and a B- in AP Chemistry.</p>

<p>I find it hard to believe that someone was really punished for one c and a b-. I have a friend who got 3 c's on his mid-year report and just got a " motivating" letter.</p>

<p>Hey, I am just telling you what happened. Maybe they take it on a case by case basis?</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm concerned about this as well. I've also heard of another case where one C (but 5 Bs along with it) meant rescinding....</p>

<p>ROFLMAO....best post in this thread hands down, 10/10 for epic trolling</p>

<p>^ Shalashaska, it's fine that you don't believe him, but don't call him a troll just because you have never heard Stanford doing this.</p>

<p>You can believe what you want but w/e</p>

<p>wait people here are crazy because i dont know who's joking and who's serious!
but this actually makes me terrified
because im getting a C this quarter for sure (damn AP physics)
but I know that it's going to be a B overall for the end of the year
and i heard that after midyear reports, the final grade in a class is all they care about for the grade reports
but i mean i cant imagine them completely rescinding admission for it, right?</p>

<p>I dont think they rescind for B's</p>

<p>just do what you can from now on to do well. and go from there... are you even admitted yet?</p>

<p>Sadface was clearly joking, calm down people.</p>

<p>mk this makes me feel bettaaaa
and yes, i did get accepted.</p>

<p>lol, I can't believe you all fell for that. :D</p>

<p>dont stress about it. No one gets rescinded for C's anyways</p>

<p>^you'd like to think that for a bunch of stanford admits they'd have picked up the hint at around "writing a letter," or "C in Work Experience" even...lmao</p>

<p>yeah, i got rescinded for a C in a geography course. i was so excited about getting into stanford, but i go to Cal now and it's alright...not exactly as bad as i thought it would be. 0_O</p>
