<p>Just a hypothetical question. Suppose a college accepts you from the WL in mid-May. Then, in early June, they receive your final grade report. If it's really bad (let's say a few D's), would they rescind you? (my guess is yes but it does sound like an odd scenario)</p>
<p>Basically all acceptances are provisional, whether from the wait list or not. Once they receive your final transcript, they can rescind due to poor grades.</p>
<p>Yes. If you get good grades freshman-junior year and bomb senior year (which some people think it’s okay to do) then it’ll hurt you. I know someone who got rejected from a university because they failed Economics their senior year.</p>
<p>Why would rescinding someone off the WL be any different from rescinding someone accepted during RD/EA/ED? All matriculating students must show adequate (however that’s defined by the college) final grades.</p>
