<p>my concern isn't grades.
i sent my deposit to cornell weeks ago.
however, i've neglected to inform all the other colleges that have accepted me that i will NOT be attending.</p>
<p>will cornell see this as a sign that i might possibly attend those other colleges& rescind my app? b/c this was purely the result of neglect& stress& craziness resulting from ap week.</p>
<p>Uh, it takes five minutes to do and it is a common courtesy.</p>
<p>but would it result in any consequences?
and i’m mailing my letters today…</p>
<p>I agree with Cayuga. I understand the frustration that comes with AP exam week, but you really should take the time to inform the other colleges to which you were admitted that you won’t be attending.</p>
<p>Edit: there won’t be any consequences :)</p>
<p>If you didn’t accept(May 1 deadline), it means you are not going, by default you have declined your other schools.</p>
<p>Speaking about rescinding, if my grades drop to low 90s from a 100+ avg, will they rescind my offer?</p>
<p>Lol… such a Stuy kid</p>
<p>The way Cornell handles rescission:
Basically, they always accept more kids than they have spots for. For one, they know about half of the kids won’t accept their offer to go to other schools. Then, they take the kids whose academic performance has slipped (think Bs in a few AP classes you had As in when they got your first transcript) and rescind their offer. This usually brings the number of accepted, un-rescinded students who took their offer to about the same as the number of open freshman beds on North. This year, because of lower yield numbers, they only have to rescind about 10% of the applicant pool. As a general rule of thumb, apply to some of those rolling state schools, community colleges, and fast food joints now if you feel you’re about to be OMGrescinded so you don’t have to do it later. Good luck!</p>
<p>its not good to be sarcastic here malan, these kids will believe everything</p>
<p>haha, i was about to say the following:
sorry but i have to say, your figure and information is completely BS.
cornell DOES NOT rescind 10% of the applicants.
if anything, the figure is more like 0.1%
don’t scare any more seniors now with this ridiculous information.
and no, they DO NOT rescind kids for getting b’s.
even kids who get c’s and d’s aren’t rescinded; i know this from personal contact.</p>
<p>but you were being sarcastic. it’s hard to read ppl’s tones…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m starting to think that maybe it should! You kids are dense.</p>
<p>oh whoops, there goes my acceptance, time to hit the highways to go all out pretending to be a homeless man</p>
<p>In at Burger King, waitlisted at McDonald’s. 
If only I didn’t have that B 4th quarter!</p>
<p>^ You only got in Burger King because the founders were Cornellians ;), otherwise you would’ve gotten waitlisted there too.</p>
