<p>@azer1993 It was something I remember him saying in an interview with the NY Times. There’re 4 parts to the article, but he mentions that. He says something like the decisions aren’t final until they’re mailed out, if I remember it right. I’m not sure which part of the article it was though… I’m sure this is just him saying stuff. I believe the bit that decisions are final around a week before decisions are mailed (in time for financial aid offices to compute financial aid awards). I guess what he said applies in the most extreme of cases, where you know, a counselor calls Harvard and says an applicant just killed someone or something…</p>
<p>So, when you are emailed about your acceptance, does it already mean that you are accepted? This is not gonna be changed unless you really killed someone, right?
I think offers are rescinded if you commite a crime or your GPA will become something like 3.0 after 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>Oh well yeah, of course it does! They can’t bail on acceptances without reason. Only extremities - that kind of a fall of GPA might warrant such action, but there may also be an explanation. An acceptance is an acceptance unless you do something terrible! Haha.</p>
