<p>When I visited U of I last summer, the admissions officer said that they had recently sent out twelve letters reovking admission to prospective students for fall 2005 because of unacceptable final transcripts.</p>
<p>I do not really have a problem with my grades this year; however, my course load is more stressful than I anticipated and I have been considering dropping one of my non-required honors classes next semester. Even though I would still have four academic classes (2 of which are full-year APs) and an elective, I am still really paranoid about my offer of admission being taken away because it said on my admission letter that "your senior courses are part of your admissions decision." </p>
<p>Does U of I ever take away offers of admissions because people drop classes in their second semester? I have gotten the impression that this only happens to people who get very bad grades their senior year. Am I just being too paranoid?</p>
<p>It only happens to people who get horrible grades senior year...And that is like multiple D's and F's...I wouldn't worry if you are simply dropping a class or two.</p>
<p>When I saw the admissions presentation over the summer, the speaker mentioned that every December he gets at least one hundred calls from prospective students asking the question "Can I drop an AP class?" and he said the answer is no and told us not to call with the same question. This is part of the reason I thought it would be best to keep my AP classes which correlate to my major and drop a non-required non-AP class. He didn't specifically say offers of admission would be revoked for dropping a class though. </p>
<p>I'll probably call anyway, just to see what they say. I wouldn't expect them to openly condone dropping a class, but I just need to make sure that they do not make a habit of revoking admission to individuals who do it.</p>
