Rescinding... is it real?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I’d imagine a lot of hs seniors are in my situation right now. I got into brown, horray… now I just have to finish up hs. Since there’s nothing left to teach us, all my AP clases have given us projects to count for our final exam (1/5 whole year average). They’re dumb hs-ish projects, though: we’re not learning anything.</p>

<p>My question is, how real is rescinding? Do I really need to try? Does an 85 (where all my previous grades are 95+) really give me a chance at getting rescinded? What about an 80? Or is rescinding only for people who totally flunk / commit a crime?</p>

<p>Are you kidding? You think you'll get rescinded for getting a B?</p>

<p>Hey mr. perfect. Who are you trying to impress.</p>

3

<p>hey, take it easy... it seemed like a reasonable question. Good, though, that's what I had hoped.</p>

4

<p>so hostile amor! I think his questionable was reasonable.. especially if he's a straight A student and suddenly gets a lot of Bs</p>

<p>To answer your question correctclick.. Brown only sees the final grades, so as long as those aren't horrendous you'll be fine.</p>

5

<p>What qualifies for horrendous?</p>

6

<p>Nah an 85 is fine, jus don't drift into the Cs</p>

7

<p>I was told within a letter grade drop is safe. After that, you might start sweating.</p>

8

<p>Letter grade drop?</p>

9

<p>Like if you got As, a B would be fine, but a C you should start doing some work to bring it up.</p>

10

<p>I'm going to end up with a B, A/A-, A/A-, A-, A, A, and B.</p>

<p><em>meh</em></p>

<p>All of my classes are AP or Junior level at the U of MN, so I guess that's fine.</p>

11

<p>All my grades are basically the same, except maybe physics, which may end up being a B- rather than a B+ (for a final grade). I'm glad my teachers realize and compensate for senioritis.</p>

12

<p>i got 2 c's when i had never gotten anything lower than a B</p>

<p>if i get kicked out, id prolly be better off away from a school full of crazy psychos</p>

<p>actually id rather not get kicked out</p>

13

<p>Wait, so you think that Brown is "full of psychos" and yet you are attending next year? What the crap??</p>

14

<p>Hyperbolic humor. Chill out.</p>

15

<p>Actually, it's kind of hard to chill when you've been lacking sleep for 48+ hours. I'm not a 'chill' type of person, I suppose. Sorry I love Brown and didn't see the humor in it...</p>

16

<p>Dude, go to sleep. I just slept from 1:30 am to 2:20 pm. I am amazed at myself.</p>

17

<p>Done. Six hours! WOOHOO! I'm pathetic.</p>

18

<p>On the contrary, I find lack of sleep sedating and fully relaxing, and I am a pro insomniac. How you can draw up the energy to be wildly psychotic (ha) without sleep escapes me.</p>

19

<p>What can I say? It's not exactly one of my redeeming qualities, but it's fun, nonetheless. Thanks for the 'ha' by the way...just in case I didn't get it...</p>
