<p>I heard from a friend who is attending Exeter next year that if your grades drop too much from what they were when you were accepted to a given school, that the school could revoke your admission. (If that was the school you decided to enroll in.) Is this a policy in place only at Exeter, or do they implement it at all the GLADCHEMMS schools?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help in figuring this out! :)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it isn’t something you need to worry about. If you were accepted into one of those schools in the first place I take it you have pretty good grades. If you had straight A’s and one of them happens to drop to a B, don’t fret. No biggie. I would assume that would only apply if your grades drop DRASTICALLY. Don’t go from A to D. I think you’d even be safe with a C, as long is it’s only one in maybe a challenging subject. </p>
<p>Unless you’re failing now, don’t worry about it. Just do your best. The schools already know you’re a good student or they wouldn’t have accepted you.</p>
<p>And to answer your question: I actually don’t know that they implement them at all those schools. They might, they might not. Keep your grades decent (A’s and B’s) and it won’t matter either way.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure most of the boarding schools would do this, not only Exeter. I mean, the schools wouldn’t want their applicants to think, “Well, the process is over, time to let loose” and just lose everything, you know?</p>
<p>It’s standard policy at both BS and colleges. It’s not just grades either. A major discipline issue could result in revoked admission as well.</p>
<p>I got the same thing. And I was like scared the last month of school because of it! And I stilll don’t know if they got the transcripts because I owe the school like 7 dollars and the wouldnt give me my report card. But newho, I don’t think its just a hades gladawatever thing because my school isn’t one( for some reason I don’t understand)</p>
<p>^btw, those acronyms are nonsensical and don’t exist outside of CC. so that’s not really like yeah…</p>
<p>I know! but I just…yea…</p>
<p>I don’t think it happens much because they pick amazing applicants who wouldn’t have that drastice grade drop issue unless in excruciating circumstances, but if that did happen, like someone fails english, they might want to explain why or else they’ll think it’s really sketchy, I’m assuming…</p>
<p>GLADCHEMMS schools.
Whats this?</p>
<p>G roton
L awrenceville
A ndover
D eerfield
C hoate
H otchkiss
E xeter
M ilton
M iddlesex
S t. Paul’s</p>
<p>^its not really important though, those acronyms just rep. ‘top’ schools that we<em>coughthemcough</em>, the people of CC, created. one should not take those too seriously</p>
<p>eh. maybe the acronym should just be agfstrhoisrhoiphaweijsth because let’s face it, schools are always better suited for some than others. and its kind of hard to judge which schools are the ‘best’, but i guess people always want to be reassured by rankings…</p>
<p>Yes, they can revoke admission. So if your grades drop from when you applied, you’d better have a good reason, and reach out to them first, BEFORE they get your report card, to alert them and explain why. (illness, death (not yours :- ), etc.)</p>
