Nope. An offer is an offer. Except of course if your grades took a nose-dive. But they can't say "oh we miscalculated. sorry, we withdraw your admission.
Correct me if I'm wrong archrival, but I understood the questionl to be; if too many students accept a place at uva could they be more strict about rescinding offers to admitted students in order to make the numbers work.
Sort of a waiting list in reverse. Am I stating this correctly?
I can't imagine it but I'm hardly an expert in enrollment management.
i think the conventional wisdom of working off of the wait list would be a whole lot easier than doing battle with significant numbers of rescinded students.
Seriously bad mojo would result from going that route IMO.
