<blockquote> <p>coureur, can you be more specific about the person who got 2 Cs and then got rescinded?<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>I heard this directly from a Yale adcom. He said they first inquired of the GC to find out if there was serious excuse, such as one of his parents dying or something similar. When it turned out there was no such excuse, they pulled the plug on his offer of admission. He said they hated to do it, but that they are serious about kids not slacking off. He didn't say in which courses the kid got Cs. I didn't get idea that it mattered much - Cs were bad.</p>

<br>
<p>I think a better way to say it would be that they can't take away your diploma, but they can certainly take away your degree. If the school says you don't have a degree, then you don't have one.</p>
