<p>I don’t think that the son’s GC can speak for the college. In truth, very, very few people get admissions revoked, and it is more likely to be for a serious academic failure across multiple classes, or a serious honor code violation like plagarism, murder, etc.</p>
<p>Why not have your son call the Admissions office, and get the straight scoop from them? It will help if he comes clean with them directly, takes full responsibility for his actions, and asks them what to do, rather than waiting, or having a parent call for him. It will show he can own his mistake, and knows how to seek resolution rather than avoid the issue, and ultimately, that is the kind of thing that goes over big at colleges.</p>
<p>Of course, you might want to coach him on how to explain the situation without blaming the teacher or the policy, and how to explain it in a way that neither minimizes his fault nor maximizes his error.</p>
