Admitted to Yale!...Now I Have Questions

<p>So I was extremely fortunate go get off the wait list on Friday and hope to be calling myself a bull dog! I was just wondering if Yale guarantees to meet ALL aid for applicants who get in off the wait list? Also though I’m pretty positive I have the answer to this, if I get 1’s on AP exam(s) from this year can they revoke admission?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>They guarantee full financial aid to all students, regardless of nationality or time of admittance.</p>

<p>I don’t think they would revoke their admission if you fail all of your AP exams, but I still suggest you don’t risk it.</p>

<p>I am just particularly worried about my AP Lit. Exam. Because well I had very low morale the day of the test and was so tired (had like two hours of sleep the night before). I did fine on the multiple choice but when I got to the Free Response I just couldn’t pull myself into doing it. I ended up writing poetry and random thoughts I was having for two hours. I know it was a waste of the money and stupid but what’s done is done.</p>

<p>um… i think it’ll be too late to kick u out once we’re three weeks into july</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine. Just do better on the rest of your APs and make sure your actual grades in school don’t drop, because that has significantly more weight. Yale wouldn’t rescind your admission because of poor performance on one test, and, if they did, you can always just say you weren’t feeling well when you took it, which is a perfectly valid excuse (and you wouldn’t even be lying). </p>

<p>Also, if, as you say, you did fine on the multiple choice, I highly doubt you got lower than a 2 or even a 3.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Colleges can kick you out any time for violations of university policies. Clearly time is not of the essence here. Additionally, some schools do not end/send final grade reports until July.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine. You can cancel your AP scores, you know. So if worst comes to worst, just cancel your scores and Yale won’t see them. </p>

<p>Your high school transcript is another story.</p>

<p>They won’t rescind for a 1 on an AP test.</p>

<p>You are not required to send Yale your AP scores. </p>

<p>Even if you do send the scores, I don’t think the admissions office would see them. </p>

<p>Even if they do see the scores, the only thing that could get your admission revoked is if you had lied about your AP scores from junior year or earlier in your application. </p>

<p>As long as your high school transcript doesn’t have a lot of C’s and D’s, you should be fine. So congratulations and relax!</p>

<p>well, they can kick you out for violations anytime, but this isn’t really a violoation of a university policy.</p>

<p>In a letter that accompanies Yale’s offer of admission, it says:</p>

<p>“Your acceptance of this offer of admission assures us that:
[ul][li]If you are currently in school, between now and your graduation from secondary school you will continue to perform in the classroom at a level comparable to the one presented to the admissions committee, and will successfully complete the current academic year.[/li][…]
[li] Your behavior in school or away from school does not bring into question your honesty, integrity, or character.”[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>That said, it does specify “in the classroom,” so I think it’s safe to say that you’re good.</p>

<p>My son is going to Yale(2014 Regular decision). Yale’s aid offer is the best and better than
Princeton’s, Columbia’s and many other superb schools’s aid offer. If you are a 1 score Ap student, you wouldn’t have gotten in. Keep confidence in you and accept Yale. Congrats…</p>

<p>thank you everyone, and I’m sure I’ll be fine. I was just a little worried for a second but am so incredibly excited!</p>

<p>Wait… what? Yale does <em>not</em> offer all students full financial aid. But you won’t be treated differently than any other student in awarding financial aid. Yale says they meet 100% of your demonstrated financial need (although exactly what your need is is up to interpretation and can often be negotiated).</p>

<p>^ That’s what I meant… Yale obviously doesn’t just waive everyone’s tuition.</p>

<p>AP scores have nothing to do with any possibility of getting rescinded.</p>

<p>bluecoast, pm me if you have any fin aid questions.</p>

<p>I don’t think Yale will even see your scores unless you choose to send them.</p>

<p>Isn’t there a way to have College Board cancel that score?</p>
