Revoked Acceptances

I got into Lafayette College Early Decision. First quarter, my grades looked like this

AP European History A-
Honors Physics A-
AP English B+
Calculus A+
Engineering A
Portfolio Prep A-

I had Pertusis for three weeks in the middle of the second quarter. My semester grades are now

AP European History B+
Honors Physics B+
AP English B+
Calculus A
Engineering A
Portfolio Prep A-

Is there any change that I will get a warning, rescinded application, or something asking me to explain what happened if 2 of my A-'s went to B+'s?

Please reply I am a little worried

I doubt it! And if there was any concern, you have a documented illness to explain the drop. You’re talking about a minor decline, not a precipitous collapse.

No one unaffiliated with Lafayette can say for sure, but typically getting rescinded for grades involves Ds and Fs, or at least more than a full letter decline across the board. If 2A-s to B+s is enough to get rescinded, they’d probably have to replace half the class.

No an A- to a B plus is nothing. You’ll be fine

My dad was a professor at Lafayette for 6 years and last year I asked him about rescinded offers of admissions. I think it’s something many seniors worry about. Your worry is unwarranted. He says you need to “slap someone in the face” for a rescinded offer of admission.

You’re fine. A couple B’s won’t kill you.

No chance at all. You are totally fine.

Thank you guys! And iwannabe_Brown raised a good point. If a drop from an A- to a B+, or an A+ to an A is enough to get your acceptance revoked, then they would have to revoke the acceptances of more than half the class. Considering I have seen many cases of senioritis, including straight A students becoming A/B students, and I have not seen anyone get their acceptance revoked, I bet I have nothing to worry about. Thank you for the reassurance!

You’re too uptight. You should purposefully get a couple of Cs next semester.

They won’t rescind you for that - only if you get a D or an F in a subject, or C’s accross the board. :slight_smile: Relax and enjoy senior year!

True! At least the minor declined happened after first quarter of my senior year. I was worried about not getting into Lafayette because if I did not get in, that would mean I would have to send in these first semester grades posted above. However, at least my grades minorly declined after they counted from an admissions standpoint
