<p>My GPA early senior year was a 94, but this MP I've quit going to one of my not needed courses; I will most likely end up getting a 45 in that class.</p>
<p>I've applied with EOP and haven't gotten my a letter confirming acception yet, but what are the chances that Buffalo will rescind application at the end of the year upon seeing this 45?</p>
<p>Edit: I go to one of NYC's named top three highschool's, will Buffalo look at that or does it even matter?</p>
<p>Really? Why shouldn’t they rescind their offer of admission? </p>
<p>You presented yourself as a student with a certain level of accomplishment who was pursuing a certain course of study. Then you chose to stop accomplishing and pursuing. If you were running a store, that would be a bait-and-switch.</p>
<p>(Please be a ■■■■■.)</p>
<p>Actually, my level of accomplishment is very low. My transcript avg is lower than the general admission pool, hence the EOP. The 94 average is pretty recent, my overall transcript should be about a 77.</p>
<p>Most likely I’ll be dropping the course within the next few days; I was asking this question out of pure curiosity. And I was asking will they, not should they.</p>
<p>(Please conduct your emotions toward my senioritis elsewhere.)</p>
<p>The fact remains, you’re altering the package you presented to them. They made their offer of admission based on the assumption that they’d be getting the student you originally presented to them, who had turned things around and was getting a 94 average.</p>
<p>Now, you’re failing a class because you’ve stopped attending it. If you you fail this class–particularly if it’s clear that you’ve failed it because you were slacking off–they probably will rescind the offer of admission. If you drop the class, they might or they might not withdraw their offer, but I expect they would if they knew the circumstances.</p>
<p>I agree and I completely understand your point for the most part; however, your point is flawed. Firstly, my circumstance hasn’t been in full been presented to you which might have been an error on my part. Secondly, and most importantly I’m not slacking off entirely; my avg is at an all time high of 97 right now (not considering the course I’ve been cutting/about to get removed).</p>
<p>Maybe I presented my circumstance a bit vaguely, but I have a legitimate sleeping disorder which hinders my ability to wake up early in the morning and pursue a bountiful education - I was already coming in late a majority of the time during the first semester. I have a note from my physician explaining my condition, and it will very likely remove the class from my agenda as a result.</p>
<p>Dropping the class has given me an extra hour of sleep which has in fact helped boost my grades in all my other classes. It would be wasteful, scratch that, it would be irresponsible to not drop this course.</p>
<p>I don’t know how much of this info the university will receive on my behalf, but in truth I am sleep deprived and exhausted with this extra course.</p>
<p>Oh, indeed, that changes everything! (Really, I’m not being sarcastic. I have a chronically ill teenager, and I am totally sympathetic to your situation.)</p>
<p>It raises a new issue for me. I jumped to the totally erroneous conclusion that you’re a slacker. (For which, by the way, I apologize sincerely, but as you said, you did withhold a crucial piece of the puzzle!) You want to make sure the people at Buffalo understand that you’re working well up to your capacity with a chronic medical condition, and not simply being lazy. I think you can accomplish this.</p>
<p>Does your current school already have documentation of your diagnosis? Do you, for example, have a 504 Plan that gives you some accommodations for your condition? If so, enlist the help of your guidance counselor, or whoever it is at your school that handles college placement. Drop that early class, and ask that person to explain to Buffalo the reasons for the change. And if your school doesn’t already have documentation of your diagnosis, give it to them. Then drop the class and get the guidance counselor to explain to Buffalo…</p>
<p>I think Buffalo will be understanding because, as you’ve said, your other grades indicate that you’re clearly capable of doing strong academic work. Moreover, they know at Buffalo–and you or your guidance counselor could remind them in a letter–that although high school starts before 8:00 a.m. (or at least, it does in a lot of places), college doesn’t have to, so you’re unlikely to have exactly this problem as an undergraduate.</p>
<p>And if Buffalo isn’t understanding in this case, it might not be the right place for you anyway. Know what I mean?</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be too sure of that, based on my kid’s schedule over the last 3 years…it depends on the intended major and pre-reqs! There hasn’t been a single semester when mine didn’t have a class before 9 am, and several began at 7:30. Anyway, the advisor/prof may be sympathetic but UB isn’t going to alter schedules or offer an additional section because someone has a medical condition. </p>
<p>Honestly, if you feel that your level of accomplishment is very low, why do you want to go to a school like UB where you’d be in the bottom 10% of accepted students? I don’t know what you’re taking now as a senior and don’t mean that you’re not capable of doing better work, but there’s so little time to catch up and some of the intro classes are graded on a curve. Frankly, I’d worry about what would happen if you couldn’t maintain the required gpa or had to drop required classes (some are impacted, so you would only be able to take them again during a summer session) due to your medical condition.</p>
