<p>I was accepted to Duke University under Early Decision for the class of 2015. I have good grades and test scores, but not quite good enough for Duke. However, as an athlete I was recruited and my the coach recruiting me got me in, although it was very difficult.
Anyways, I got arrested last month for possession of Xanax and marijuana. I was pulled over during schools hours (I was out of class for the day) and the drugs were found in my car. Since it was during school hours I was also suspended for five days, but was allowed to come back after three. </p>
<p>What are the chances that my admission will be revoked?</p>
<p>I think you should tell them, as your agreement requires that you do. If they find out and you didn’t tell them, you know you will not be a Blue Devil. </p>
<p>Other than that, I’m not really sure. Some would say marijuana really isn’t that big of a deal, but it would definitely give them grounds to rescind your admission, . You’re at their mercy, especially considering that fact that, at your own admission, you are a borderline applicant. I would recommend that however you notify them, be extremely contrite and commit to making changes. If you are serious about attending Duke, I think this is what you need to do.</p>
<p>If you don’t tell and Duke finds out, your acceptance will immediately be revoked–not because of your suspension but because you broke the agreement. Possible further punishment because you were suspended.</p>
<p>If you don’t tell and Duke doesn’t find out, you’ll be fine. Best-case scenario right here.</p>
<p>If you tell, depending on Duke’s policy with ED/athletic recruits, your acceptance may or may not be rescinded. But, in either case for this option, you won’t have to worry about punishments for breaking the agreement.</p>
