Rescind if I get Captainship taken Away?

Hi everyone,

I just got into my dream school, but because I’ll be missing so many meets/games because of academic competitions, my coach just demoted me from captainship from one of my main extra-curriculars. I will still be on the team, but will be a manager instead. Is it grounds for rescindment if I had indicated in my application that I would be Captain of the team this year? When I applied, I had been assured by the Coach I would be the Captain, and I did not expect to qualify for Nationals in so many competitions.

Thank you so much for your input.

You wouldn’t have to inform them of this, so they would never know. Even if they did know I am pretty positive they would not really care. Typically academic competitions trump sport competitions. Best of luck, and congrats!

I agree with slights32. Colleges want to know you can keep up with academics. Make sure you are.

The title means nothing. I’ve been half-jokingly telling HYP admits to tactically and on-purpose – drive one of their crucial classes to a “C” grade – just because they can!

You’re fine. You can thrown off the shackles of “the man”. Congrats on your dream school acceptance.

Agreed, the college will never know and the reason it happened it totally understandable anyway. Congrats on your acceptance.

Congrats on Duke! I do have to admit their acceptance letter was the most “threatening” acceptance letter I’ve ever received – but that’s pertaining to the grades, not the ECs I assume.
