<p>Amelia Mann was the admission officer that called me and told me I had been rescinded. She had given me my options: try another school, be put on “academic probation” essentially, or try to appeal it. By academic probation she meant one semester at a community college, and if I hold all A’s and B’s, I can join FSU in the spring as a student. Which isn’t awful, but I had my heart set on FSU. I made plans and decisions based around FSU. I got in to other universities…but now that it’s so late in the game, I can’t go them (not that I would really want to-- Florida State was perfect for me).</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s fair to say that those rescinded, or in your case in danger of being rescinded, don’t “deserve” to go to the university. We all worked hard to get into college, and in some students cases things happen to make them loose focus. Mistakes were and will be made. It happens. But to be kicked out of the university before you are given a chance to prove them wrong–it changes your whole life.</p>
<p>In your situation I would call Ms. Mann personally (850-644-1270). Ask her how likely you are to being rescinded, what your options are, how to go about appealing the decision. It would really suck if at the end of July you find out your acceptance was rescinded and you haven’t made alternative plans elsewhere or at a community college. I wish you better luck than I had, and let us know what happens.</p>
