Impact of dropping a class listed on transcript for preread?

What I wonder is (hypothetical question) if a student gets the approved pre-read, applies ED, gets accepted in December.
January rolls around and student drops AP Calc for regular calc. Doesn’t do anything or tells the college. May very likely be because no one tells her she needs to.
College has no idea student dropped down in one of her AP classes.
In the meantime, a deposit has been made, admitted students day attended, student signed up for summer orientation and summer meetings with the team.
Mid-June the college gets the final transcript along with transcripts from 600 other incoming freshman which shows a Calc class listed for second-semester senior year vs. AP Calc
At this point in June, is there truly someone who is comparing the final transcript to the Common App list of second-semester senior classes? Is the college going to revoke her admission 6 weeks before classes began?

Of course, I know that the school has the right to do so, but in reality has this ever happened?
