<p>I know that UW revokes admissions if you don't keep your grades up. But does anyone know how much your grades have to fall for you to get revoked?</p>
<p>I'm in full time running start, but my GPA isn't that impressive to begin with (3.68). I haven't done very well this quarter...I'm taking 18 credits and I just finished finals today and I don't think I did very well. I mean I know I didn't fail any of my classes, but I think I'm getting a C in my poly sci class, and a C can just kill your cumulative GPA. Ugh.</p>
<p>I'm reallyyy going to try hard to do well next quarter. If my spring quarter grades are good, then do you think I'll be fine?</p>
<p>You should be okay, especially if you can pull things up in the spring quarter. DO NOT fail any classes. If something just isn't clicking, find out when you can drop withut any grade penalty -- BUT, check with the UW admissions office to make sure that you'll come in with enough credits and requirements met.</p>
<p>Basicially it was just a few people who had their admission revoked and it got blown out of proportion. Also your GPA is pretty good and your were taking 18credits of running start which is impressive. There was a story in the Seattle Times that you could probably look up on Google that is more clear and specific that rumors. As long as you pass you should be fine. The other people are right though, don't fail.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how badly those people failed last year? Were they A & B students who suddenly got all F's? Or was it just one bad class and 5 A's?</p>
<p>The most relevent part is: "Ballinger said the rescinded students fell into three main categories. There were those whose grades plummeted from A's and B's down to C's, D's and F's. There were those who failed a required course such as math. And there were those who listed challenging senior courses on their applications but then dropped those courses or failed to complete them."</p>
<p>The UW does not require transcripts for in state applicants, rather the student self reports his/her grades. They basically go off of SAT/ACT scores. Nor are recommendations required. </p>
<p>What happened last year is that those who's admissions were revoked had lied about their GPA and grades. A final transcript is not required. My son was accepted (safety school) in their honors program. He sent his transcripts in, due to a glitch with in not receiveing his SAT/ACT scores by the deadline (they did receive them shortly afterward).</p>
<p>His counselor said that Washington state does have a primary education IT/IS system that allows transfer of information including transcripts and grades without the student requesting them to do so. So, maybe this is how the UW validates in-state self reporting.... but I doubt it, as this would be too time consuming.</p>
