Rescinded Admissions Decisions

Rescinded Admissions Decisions July 3, 2013 Getting arrested will indeed jeopardize your admissions decision. Harvard totally would have given Al Capone the boot. Rescinded admissions decisions are indeed possible and this is something students should be mindful of. Just because a college offers you admission doesnt mean that this colleges dean of admissions cant change his or her mind. So what are some reasons why a college may rescind their admissions decision, you ask? Slipping grades. We told you this a couple of months ago. You needed to maintain the same kinds of grades you always received after earning your admission. Will a B+ in AP Physics jeopardize your admission to an Ivy League school? No, likely not. But a D sure might. Its doubtful that you had Ds on your record when you were admitted to an Ivy League school. In addition to slipping grades, bad behavior can lead to a rescinded admission. Again, weve told this to you when you first received your acceptance, but well say it again. Think twice before you participate in the senior prank in which you put ducks in your principals office or let the lab mice out of the research lab. This is probably not a good idea. Why risk everything youve worked for up until this point? Its just not worth it. Getting in trouble with the law is a bad idea too. And not just because it will jeopardize your college admissions decision, of course. But it certainly will. Colleges dont want students with arrest records on their campus. Keep thinking of the next four years at the college of dreams and do anything to risk your future.
