<p>Under what circumstances would Princeton rescind an offer of admission? Our school has a quarter-based system for PE classes, which means that we technically take 4 distinct PE classes per year, each of which is recorded on the final transcript. Would getting a D/F in one such class, combined with a spattering of Bs, be sufficient grounds for a rescission?</p>
<p>I’m not uniquely informed, but getting a D or F in a one-quarter non-academic class hopefully wouldn’t be grounds for recision.</p>
<p>This is assuming you have a good explanation for the grade. Most people I know get A’s in P.E. unless they’re lazy.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t have a good explanation at all. The problem is that I have an unconditional offer from another university (second choice) which I’d have to reject if I accept Princeton’s offer; however, that could blow up in my face if I reject that offer only to be rescinded by Princeton. I’ve heard of people getting rescinded on the basis of a couple of Cs and I know how capricious colleges can be about such matters, so I don’t want to run an unnecessary risk, even if it’s small.</p>
<p>hmm i see what you mean. although i dont think it will happen, it is possible, and yeah you don’t want to take that risk. if the other school is just as great as princeton, i say you should go for it!</p>
<p>I don’t know… but a D is serious… even if it may be a non-academic class. Contact them and find out… your regional admissions director should be very helpful. </p>
<p>I don’t get how some schools give D’s and F’s in PE… we just show up, dress, pretend like your doing something(or at least not on a cell phone) and that’s an A.</p>
<p>someone from my school got a rescission for getting one C.</p>
<p>often one D is enough to merit a rescission</p>
<p>Don’t be ridiculous. No decent university offers “unconditional” admissions. I’ve heard that one D/F gets a warning letter. Recissions are only for much more extreme circumstances.</p>
<p>I would also like to add that there are waitlisted applicants who could seek to benefit from you turning down Princeton for an ungrounded fear. PE is a joke.</p>
<p>what about a c- my first c ever in a college class that will not be factored into my high school GPA? (i probably would have gotten a B but i missed one test because I went to the PRINCETON PREVIEW!!!) AHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>Rescission? Probably not.</p>
<p>Academic Probation? Much more likely…and definitely not fun. But a fear of academic probation should not be enough to push you to turn down your top choice.</p>
<p>you’d get rescinded for going from, say, a 3.9 to a 2.9. getting straight As, to getting Cs, B-s, and Ds accross the board. Or if you get expelled from school…</p>
<p>Well, the other university happened to be Oxford, which I’d consider “decent.” I decided to accept the Princeton offer, though; hopefully I won’t regret that choice. Thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>can someone help me , i’m really nervous</p>
<p>no crisscross, you will not get rescinded.</p>
<p>To the original poster, you would get a warning letter if it were a normal class. But P.E. is P.E. Nobody really cares about it. Nobody likes it. It’s a non-factor in their decision to rescind you. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>To CrissCross, chill out. They might ask for an explanation in the worst case scenario, but ONE C- will not get you rescinded.</p>
<p>Sad that consistent C- student at best George W. Bush was accepted into Yale and yet others who get a single C- have to worry about getting rescinded.</p>
<p>Especially since that C- was in a college class, which may have had different grading standards, they’ll probably be understanding. There’s no cause for concern.</p>
<p>George W. Bush was not a C- student. Yes, he had AMAZING hooks… but still. I DO know, however, that he had the equivalent of a 1950 on his SATs which really not that bad.</p>
