rescission details

<p>I'm aware that rescission is very unlikely among most schools, short of murder or total failure, and even among the best of the best it's still done very rarely. However, I was wondering what the terms of rescission are - do the schools solely look at your final year report? I know they don't send quarterly reports but it makes me wonder if people are getting high enough grades first semester to get into the colleges how badly they'd have to do to get their final year report low enough to get rescinded. </p>

<p>For instance, there's a very good change I might get a D or C- at the highest in my AP physics class this term, but because I was getting A's first and second term and I'll probably bring my grade up fourth term, I can't imagine my final year grade being less than a B or C. Would that still be grounds for rescission? Especially if I more or less maintain my A's and B's in other classes? I'm planning on attending NYU college of arts and sciences in the fall.</p>

<p>Colleges don’t usually rescind admission decisions; however, that being said, there is the possibility that they will rescind scholarship money.</p>

<p>I see. Say I’m under special circumstances financially because of my dad’s employment at NYU. Would that money be rescinded? I’d assume it wouldn’t be… since that isn’t contractually based on my level of success at school.</p>

<p>It should state somewhere under your conditional admission contract, whether on line or in the big envelope. Every school has different conditions, but one C- should be okay in almost all. Many schools say “no D’s”, but that just means they’ll re-evaluate you, rather than an automatic rescission.</p>

<p>False alarm anyway. My term grade wound up being fine =P Thanks for all your help!</p>
