<p>Anyone else accepted ED get one of these? S’s lowest grade was a B!!(2 of them) and his friend got one, her lowest were 2 B+s. No specific threat, just something like, "we know you will " bring them back up. Would they rescind or put student on probation for Bs following admission? Very suprising from Brown, of all places!</p>
<p>I highly doubt they would rescind an acceptee for a B…they would be absolutely crazy to do that. I think they are just trying to ensure that the students that they have accepted maintain their academic integrity even though they have already been accepted.</p>
<p>A whole separate letter, you mean? My acceptance letter had a line about maintaining the same performance for which I was admitted, but that was it.</p>
<p>I’m an ED admit, my midyear report had 2 B’s for senior year, whereas my application had my first quarter senior grades and they were all A’s, and Brown hasn’t sent me any sort of reprimand yet. I actually looked into other threads on CC regarding this topic a while back, since senioritis has resulted in an almost certain B- for the year in one of my classes, and the general consensus from admits of previous years was that if you got a C you’d get a letter saying Brown was displeased with your performance (I don’t remember the exact wording but it wasn’t even that harsh). But there was neither any indication that individuals with Bs would get reprimands, or that anyone was outright rescinded.</p>
<p>What if I were to get a C in AP Calculus? Because I think that might happen to me at this point, and I feel like if Brown will inevitably rescind my acceptance, I might as well just commit to Berkeley or UCLA and save the trouble.</p>
<p>Definitely don’t commit anywhere else before talking to Brown.
And I really don’t think Brown will rescind simply based on one C. Schools sometimes give you some sort of remedial work over the summer, even that seems like an excessive reprimand for someone in your position, but if they do anything at all, I would think they would resort to this rather than rescinding your acceptance altogether.<br>
But like I said originally, talk to Brown before you take any action–you’ll likely regret it if you preemptively commit elsewhere out of the fear that Brown will rescind.</p>
