so im wondering if current stanford students could speak about their experience with the admissions office in terms of rescinding students after they have been accepted. Is it like if you get a C in one class you get rescinded? or is it more like an overall gpa drop in all classes would lead to rescinding? and how often do students get rescinded for issues with grades/senioritis?
personally, i've had almost straight As through high school but im looking at possibly a C in my AP Calc AB class (drop from an A last semester) and possibly a B in Honors Anatomy (drop from an A last semester). The 4 other classes i am in are all As at this point.
No one knows...I think Richard Shaw likes to keep us scared on purpose, i.e. "Your admission is contingenet....blah, blah, blah, if you get bad grades, blah, blah, you're fecked, blah, blah, blech."
im dealing with this as well right now. Basically they told me the worst they would do is defer my admission for a year... I would say youre fine, youll get a letter telling you to explaine for one C though.
