<p>I know colleges can overturn admission decisions if you screw up your last semester of school, like getting bad grades. </p>
<p>I was admitted into a top 10 institution (wont say which), and was wondering if they could overturn my admission decision if I stopped one of my main extracurricular activities: managing my personal business. I own a business and am self-employed, which was written on my application. If I sell or get rid of my business, will they overturn my decision?</p>
<p>Another question I have is whether or not my financial aid application can at all overturn my admission decision. Lets say I get a 2 on the next AP exam, can they hold this against me?</p>
<p>Many many small businesses are going under. Every day. I can not believe anyone would hold your disposition of your business at the best price available against you. You may have to discontinue the business when you go to college anyway – no one in their right mind would criticise this. The fact that you were able to accomplish what you did shows your potential and ability. </p>
<p>I would try to sell business and concentrate on AP. Not so much that they would pull offer or finaid, but that you may want the advanced placement.</p>
<p>I go to Hopkins, I owned and operated a online business right up to second semester senior year when I decided that it was simply not worth it to continue what I was doing since a) senioritis, b) i had stuff to do like APs and all that.</p>
<p>Trust me, Admissions will not be inquiring into every little bit of detail of your life. If you stop operating your business due to time constraints, that is viewed as a positive thing because it shows you know how to prioritize and act upon changes in your schedule, etc…</p>
<p>They will not overturn your decision because you decided to put academics ahead of extracurricular. One has priority over the other.</p>
<p>You do not have to report AP scores remember!</p>
<p>Wow: total paranoia on THREE separate issues! HAT TRICK!</p>

<li>Dropping an EC: college won’t care</li>
<li>Need FA: college won’t care. If the you can’t afford the school given the FA numbers, you’ll just withdraw and open up a slot. Why should the college care?</li>
<li>AP score: college won’t care</li>
</ol>
<p>It takes a lot for a college (especially a top-10 college) to pull an acceptance; you have to REALLY screw up. They’ve put their faith in you by accepting you, and they don’t want to admit that they were wrong by withdrawing an acceptance over something small. Selling your business could just be a business decision and have nothing to do with the college or you. The 2 on the AP exam isn’t pretty, but it’s not going to get you rejected. Also, I think most top-10 universities are need-blind, so they’re not going to change anything because of Fin Aid. Basically, just don’t fail any classes and you’ll be okay.</p>
<p>My business is extremely large (worldwide) and my web page gets several thousand visitors a day. So its really easy to see if my business is still online or if I got rid of it.</p>
<p>I think they would check cause its something on my application that made me look unique. How many teenagers own a successful business with thousands of visits on its web page?</p>
