<p>I received my UW admissions letter this weekend and I got in which I am really happy about. However my brother told me that with my current senior year grades that they will probably rescind their offer. I'm not sure if he was joking about this or serious but I am very worried about it since there is a decline in my grades as compared to last year.</p>
<p>This is what they look like for first semester:</p>
<p>PE A
IB Art SL C
IB Eng HL B
IB Calc (SL) B
IB Bio HL C
IB Hist. HL B-</p>
<p>and they'll pretty much end up looking the same for semester 2 (next week is end of Q1 so sadly I can't improve it as much as I would want). (PE is for HS grad req. btw.)</p>
<p>Should I be worried about UW rescinding? Compared to my grades from last year it is a bit of a drop which I am very worried about. Last year my lowest mark was a B in IB Bio/IB Japanese SL.</p>
<p>How likely is that. UW is my dream school and I will do anything to get into it. I just messed up really bad. Is there anything that I can do other than get really good grades right now?</p>
<p>Wait you’re not even a senior who has been accepted yet? 2 Fs will look way worse if that’s what they see when you first apply… Not as bad after you’ve been accepted, but still very bad.</p>
<p>Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I am a senior who applied and received the F’s after I did so. They only time they would see them would be if I were to appeal (assuming that I am not accepted) or at the end of the year (if I am accepted).</p>
<p>I am a senior, I have been accepted, I have no F’s (or else UW would probably rescind me ). I’m just worried about how bad it will look to UW to see me going from A/B to mostly B/C’s and if they will rescind me because of this drop. </p>
<p>Also sadly I might get a C or 2 C’s in S2 of senior year also :(.</p>
<p>My understanding is that they will not rescind unless you fail classes. They won’t like it if you do worse but they won’t do anything about it (most likely). Having said that, you will be taking more advanced versions of your high school classes in college so don’t let senioritis hit yet. I got it bad and I could easily be done because of it.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support saxman66 and richan. I would like to hear your story about how you got 2 F’s in your senior year saxman; was it just a extremely bad case of senioritis?</p>
<p>It was partly that. One was in chemistry and was primarily because I lost my lab notebook the day before it was due. Labs are about a third of our grade so you can see how I failed and being an AP class didn’t help either. The other class was AP lit and was because of a large novel binder that took up insane amounts of time but did little for us. That was more laziness than the latter. I just hope that I can overcome it. Has anyone heard stories about not being rescinded in situations like mine?</p>
<p>I think that is only if you slip while at UW. I am saying that I would have been accepted, messed up in high school, and then they would reject me. It would have nothing to do with college classes and therefore rejection instead of probation. I may be wrong though so I would double check.</p>
<p>I’m trying to find the article right now - it was from a few years ago.</p>
<p>A few ** incoming freshman ** students were put on academic probation for low end of senior year grades. So it is possible (not sure about this year though) to be on academic probation going into UW.</p>
<p>edit
Quick google searching - can’t find the article. Perhaps I was mistaken! Anyway, here are two on offers being recinded:</p>
<p>“And by the time classes began last week, an additional 180 freshmen had received stern letters rebuking them for the “significant downturn” in their academic performance.”</p>
