<p>How bad do your second semester grades have to be to prompt a rescind from Vanderbilt University? Has it ever happened before, for academic reasons, and if so, what were the circumstances.</p>
<p>Will 1 or 2 C's prompt a rescind?</p>

<p>Most schools will not give you their policies out right, but I know that William & Mary (for example purposes only), says that any more than one “C” will flag you. The best approach is to show maturity by letting them know BEFORE they receive your final transcript. There are some schools that are willing to work with you and allow you time to retake the courses during summer before you begin, and then you enter their school in the fall on a probationary period (this is the best case scenario). But…some schools will not grant any kind of second chance and will rescind an offer. They know that there are plenty of students on their wait list who have not allowed grades to drop. When you do contact admissions, take responsibility for your actions.</p>
<p>in general, schools are not looking to “unadmit” students they’ve chosen. Of course, if your grades fall dramatically in all courses this will raise an eyebrow and require an explanation. What will almost certainly get you rescinded are disciplinary issues, like being caught cheating.</p>
