<p>My question is directed towards Dan, but anybody who has an answer is greatly appreciated as well!</p>
<p>I'm waiting on finding out if I got accepted tomorrow! However, even if I'm accepted I'm worried about getting my acceptance rescinded based on my grades this semester. I was just wondering under what conditions would Tufts rescind applicants? I have heard reasons such as grades dropping "significantly", but how exactly does Tufts decide that? Will our entire application be reviewed once more, and would we have a chance to explain why our grades had dropped? (If that's the case) I believe counselors can explain extenuating circumstances, but to what extent can the student explain why their grades dropped?</p>
<p>My transcript shows 30 A's and 9 B's--I'm worried that a possible C in one class this semester could be enough to rescind me, should I be accepted tomorrow. The class I might get a C in is a class with a teacher I've had for three years, and I have struggled every semester in their class. However they also wrote one of my letters of rec...</p>
<p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Good luck to all ED1 applicants who find out tomorrow!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t sweat the one C 
I’m not an expert by any means (I’m waiting to hear from Tufts tomorrow too!!) but I would say that one low grade isn’t going to make Tufts rescind. Especially if you get the class back up. I think for a student’s acceptance to be taken away there has to be a very marked decline in their work ethic, and one grade in one class will not break a student. They understand that everyone can have a bad semester I hope this puts your mind at ease, and good luck tomorrow! Hope to see you in the fall!!!</p>
<p>You’re getting way ahead of yourself, since you haven’t been accepted yet, so you need to do some serious chilling.
But I agree with singer30425.</p>
<p>Just got my acceptance letter.</p>
<p>But I remember Dan explaining the process for rescinding a student when I stayed at the Voices Program a couple of months ago, but can’t exactly remember what he said.</p>
<p>Any actual advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Now, for one. No one rescinds for one C. Stop agonizing.</p>
<p>But. Tufts expects you to maintain the level of work that they saw in you when they made the decision to accept you. If you do not maintain that level, it’s possible that you’ll get a letter saying something to the effect that they are disappointed and concerned that you may not be able to work at the level they’d anticipated. What you should be doing is thinking about why your performance has taken a bit of a fall and why something similar or worse will not happen to you in college. Then, if you have to, be prepared to communicate those thoughts to the admissions office. </p>
<p>But for now, take a moment to revel–congratulations!</p>
