What are the chances of a college changing their mind about your acceptance?

I asked this question already, but I didn%26#039;t get any responses so I figured I%26#039;d try again haha.


I just got accepted to my top choice university! but i heard colleges can change their mind if your grades slip senior year. i was just wondering how often this actually happens and how bad your grades would have to slip for the school to change their mind about you?|||If you get an academic scholarship, then you could get dropped (or lose your scholarship) if your grades drop. But, they would have to drop significantly. For example, if you were in the top 10% of your class at the beginning of your senior year, but your grades were bad enough so that you lost that position by the end of your senior year, then you would have something to worry about. Basically, I think that schools want to see that you still cared and tried second semester and did something other than party your way til the end of the year. If you have an A in calculus first semester and a B second semester, you will be ok. If you have an A first semester and a D second semester, then there might be something to worry about.|||slim.you would have to have done something BAD. your grades would have to drop dramatically and you would have to f up bad. the only circumstance i%26#039;ve heard of kids being kicked out after being admitted was when they lied to the university or the university had the kid on a waitlist and the rooms filled up. if you keep all B%26#039;s and A%26#039;s you have NOTHING to worry about even if it%26#039;s Harvard ;)|||Your GPA has to dramatically change for the college to rescind your acceptance. My GPA was a 3.65 before the application and 3.4 during final transcript and they still kept me. Just make sure it doesnt go dramatically low and you will be fine.|||They don%26#039;t change their minds, they rescind their acceptance. It will depend on the college. Your GPA slipping is one thing, getting F%26#039;s or D%26#039;s is another.
