Will I Get Rescinded?

Hey, so I’m a senior year student taking seven academic classes and getting A’s in every one except for one of them, and I’m getting a D in that class right now. I just got into Wellesley and I’m so excited to attend, but I’m scared they’ll rescind my acceptance because of my low grade. I already sent in a letter first semester talking about family problems I encountered first semester (I got a C first semester in that class and was worried) and I’ve called Wellesley admissions multiple times with no conclusive answer. Does anyone know Wellesley’s policies on rescinding acceptances? I’m definitely not slacking off or anything. I’m actually working really hard for this class. It’s been stressing me out. Please let me in on any insight you may have, and thanks for your help.

Rule of thumb for most schools: No D’s or F’s. I would work real hard to get that grade up to a C.

Have you SIR’d to Wellesley? If so, there should be a provisional admission contract posted in your acceptance email.

bruh, really work hard to get a C, even if that means getting a B in another class or two

@Gumbymom I haven’t SIR’d yet, partly because I’m scared about this. I guess that doesn’t make sense but part of me wants to know for sure that this school will accept me before I commit. Does it help my case if I’m attending a super selective private school in the East Coast? All my classes are really tough, AP/IB level kinda thing. I haven’t been able to handle this one class and I don’t want everything I’ve done to go down the drain because of it.

@theofrelord it might be too late ): It’s not even a high D. Is this post accurate: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/wellesley-college/448638-rescind.html?highlight=rescind#post5232965 ?

All they ask is for you to keep up your grades to a similar standard as when you were admitted. If they already knew you were having troubles with the class, and you were still admitted, then try your best to keep that one class at a C. Talk to your teachers: if you’re putting in the work and still not doing well, ask them for extra credit, a lot more help in class, etc. So keep it at a C minimum.
