<p>how did you hear about that guy whose admission was rescinded because of two Cs? do you know anything else about him like which courses were these, etc.?</p>
<br>
<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coureur, can you be more specific about the person who got 2 Cs and then got rescinded?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>

<blockquote> <p>Oh, and colleges can't take away your degree but they can invalidate it...."</p> </blockquote>
<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>

I know of someone who had their admission rescinded at UC Santa Cruz because he got a D second semester in AP Calc, and he even got a 4 on his AP exam.

<p>i highly doubt that. i am a student at ucsc and i got a D in ap calc my senior year and i'm here...(i suck at math, i shouldn't have taken the class in the first place)</p>
<p>but really, don't get D's. it's bad.</p>
<p>i have a feeling rescinding admissions are also on an individual basis. The top schools all ask you to explain your grades and if you can explain your grades well, they won't rescind you. A girl that is going to yale called them and they pretty much said that she would have to commit a felony to get rescinded. Not a whole lot of people are rescinded every year (1-2?). A C or 2 wouldn't hurt you too hard if you are taking very challenging coursework. Now when you venture into Ds and Fs.... thats when it starts hurtin.</p>
<p>I know a kid who was accepted to Harvard and then rescinded because
he was caught right before graduation with a very small amount of
illegal smoking substance in a baggie. He was caught with it on campus but not smoking and he was rescinded.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter if a college invalidates you degree. As long as you have the piece of paper, thats ALL employers care about. I've never heard of employers calling up your college to see if you got rescinded. </p>
<p>And they can't forcibly take away the valuable paper known as degree.</p>
<p>SSJ2Metc.: our HR people mentioned to me a couple of months ago that they now check with uni's for confirmation of degrees. People are finding that applicants - even high level ones - are misrepresenting degrees earned, among other things.</p>
<p>Also, if someone has already been hired, and there are "issues", our HR people said they sometimes go back over an employment application. If there is anything inaccurate - even one little thing - they can fire the employee for it, regardless of how long he/she has been at the firm. It's easier than going through a long termination process.</p>

<blockquote> <p>I've never heard of employers calling up your college to see if you got rescinded.<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>Wrong again. The company I work for calls schools to confirm every degree listed by applicants they are seriously considering hiring. Showing a piece of paper doesn't mean anything. In fact in my entire career I've never been asked to show a diploma. Diplomas are easily faked. It's the degree that counts, and most companies will call to confirm that you earned it.</p>
<p>2carpediem - jesus christ. his school must have been really strict on weed. im 18 now, so weed in my city is just a ticket up until i carry an ounce. (or something like that)</p>
<p>what if someone is getting a D, what is the best thing to do, to avoid getting their admission recinded?</p>

<br>
<p>Hire a tutor and ace the final exam, or do an extra credit assignment. Do something to avoid the D. </p>
<p>There will be no hiding it from the university.</p>
<p>So I am really freaking out after reading all of the posts. I was accepted to University of Miami-early decision, but this second semester has been really rough. On top of a large amount of IB work due, I was in a car accident and had influenza and bronchitis at the same time. I was out of school for about a month total third quarter, and i have been suffering ever since.
here are my first semester grades:
2 A
5 B
And here are my projected second quarter:
2 A
2 B
3 C</p>
<p>DO you think they will rescind my acceptance?</p>
