<p>You need to check the policy for the schools you have applied to. Even within the UC's the policies are different from school to school. There is no universal policy on this issue.</p>
<p>Actually, my early admissions to Williams College was revoked because of posts I made ON THIS SITE. Have fun with that one kiddies. (this is the first post I have made since that happened pretty much one year ago, however, I occasionally peruse and saw this thread and decided this was a pertinent time to post.) Feel free to search my posts if you wish. Myth no more.</p>
<p>Well, that interesting tidbit might make some people think twice before posting absurd things on this site.</p>
<p>i can see an admissions office being concerned with the contents of your post, but how did Williams College find out it was you? Did the FBI subpoena CC records? I don't get it</p>
<p>What was the post that Meateater made that caused his admission to be revoked?</p>
<p>It may not be hard for admissions to match posts with people. Many people post so much info about themselves here that it would be easy to figure out who they are. FrecklyBecky, who posted about her and her twin brother's college admissions experiences, was recognized by many people when she went to University of Michigan. Fortunately for her, she hadn't posted anything that would get her admission revoked. She just got a lot of supporters (She had a disappointing college admission period at first because her twin was accepted to lots of top places that rejected her. However, she ended up having a great freshman year at Michigan, that I think was her safety, and that year included getting a major part in a school play.)</p>
<p>yes many ppl down play the likelyhood of this happening but it in short, DON'T do anything stupid in your senior year that will come back to haunt you.</p>
<p>for top colleges (ranked 5-20 usnwr), would it be a possibility that admission be revoked with grades of:</p>
<p>calcbcAP: D
civicsAP: B
span4AP: B
eng4AP: A
eurohist: A
worldissues: A</p>
<p>3.17 unweighted, but will the D seriously jeopardize me?</p>
<p>I'm assuming these are your last semester grades???</p>
<p>I think you are OK......how is the AP Calc grade this semester? Were you straight A's until last semester?</p>
<p>Meateater, where are you now?</p>
<p>it's not so much the lower GPA than the one D. Your other grades are really really good but if you wind up getting a D for the semester you're going to have to explain yourself. Try to get it up to a C- and you're probably fine.</p>
<p>If that was last semester...uh....well, there's not much you can do now, other than maybe try to explain yourself?</p>
<p>For what it's worth, I personally knew a kid in high school who got his early acceptance to Michigan State rescinded after he basically stopped showing up at school after he got his acceptance. It was a big scandal at the school. I don't know what eventually happened to him, but by the time his acceptance was pulled it was late spring, he had missed the deadline for applying anywhere else, and he had basically ruined his chances of getting in anywhere else if he decided to apply again the next year because his senior year grades were Ds and Fs (after having been a top 15% student the first three years.) What a terrible mistake.</p>
<p>Moral of the story: FINISH HIGH SCHOOL!!!! (</p>
<p>Take a vacation in the summer if you want to.....)</p>
<p>I got a stern warning from my school for getting 2 C's on my final transcript...I definitely hit the bottle too hard second semester of senior year. My acceptance didn't get rescinded nor did my scholarship but it was a little close for comfort.</p>
<p>yes, these are what im guessing i'll end up with. first semester i had a 3.67 with a B- in calc.. would scholarships be more likely to be rescinded than acceptances?</p>
<p>calcbcAP: D
civicsAP: B
span4AP: B

<p>are these gpa's you all are talking about weighted or uw?</p>
<p>unweighted 3.63ish, with 5 AP classes so weighted like 4.3ish..</p>
<p>Colleges weight GPA's...usually. Some do not give the same weight as your high school, so becareful. Usually honors classes are weighted .5 and AP classes 1.0 over the 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>my math teacher in high school had an interesting story about rescinding acceptance. He had a kid who was applying to Duke, but the kid and his father were real genuine arseholes. So the kid came into his class one day and handed him a recommendation letter for him to sign which the kid's father had written for him. My teacher obviously refused to sign the forged recommendation letter, but a few months later, Duke sent him back his letter now with his forged signature on it.</p>
<p>My teacher didn't want to get the kid in trouble, it wasn't really his fault his dad was a jerk, but then the kid also managed to get 2 F's his last semester of senior year., and then by a miracle he didn't get his admission rescinded (apparently, according to my teacher, Duke was pretty picky at that point and 2 F's were going to do this kid in).</p>
<p>A few years later, after the kid graduated from Duke and my teacher and him were on good terms, my teacher asked how he didn't get his admission rescinded. Turns out the kid broke into the office of the school and stole his final grade report that was going out to Duke, and replaced it with a forged copy. On a previous night he had stolen letter headings from the guidance counselor, and copied a different letter so that he could properly forge his own later that week.</p>
<p>So there's my story on rescinding of admissions.</p>
<p>"My teacher didn't want to get the kid in trouble, it wasn't really his fault his dad was a jerk, "</p>
<p>Big mistake from teacher. The teacher could have let Duke know what had happened, and the teacher could have sent a recc truly written by the teacher. Duke wouldn't have hurt the kid because the dad was a forger, but still could have evaluated the kid based on the truth.</p>
<p>Also, it does sound to me like the kid was OK with the forgery or the kid wouldn't have brought the letter in for the teacher to sign. The kid easily could have thrown away Dad's letter and asked the teacher to write his own letter.</p>
<p>That kid didn't deserve to go to Duke or any college that believed in integrity and the teacher should be ashamed for passively helping the kid get in. In addition, since the kid admitted to breaking into the school office, the kid should have faced legal charges, which would have happened if the teacher (apparently a gutless wonder) had turned the kid in.</p>
<p>I concur with NorthStarMom!</p>
<p>(Though your story does smack a little of urban myth. What teacher in his right mind would remain "on good terms" with such a person? What teacher in his/her right mind would NOT mention the forgery? I mean, it was even in the teacher's best interest to mention it--- because if it came out that he knew about it and didn't mention it, it means he was at least COMPLICIT in breaking the law, and would have, at the very least , lost his job.... I don't know. I find the whole thing hard to believe....)</p>
<p>As I understood it, the teacher didn't find out that the student had broken in until some years later.</p>
