<p>It seems a lot of people are worried about their offers for admission being revoked. One question that poped into my head is are you more likely to have the plug pulled by a highly selective school as compared to an only moderatly selective one. For instance, would HYPS be more likely to revoke your admissions as opposed to a school ranked between 50-100 overall? I would think so, but I have no data to back that up. Does anyone else have any thoughts or experience?</p>
<p>I don’t know about Ivies, but I do know that some public schools are more likely to rescind acceptances because they overadmitted in the spring.</p>
<p>The UC’s revoke a lot of admissions, they have strict requirements</p>
<p>Would it be fair to conclude that schools with longer wait lists are more likely to rescind an an offer?</p>
<p>Aswat, in a sense, yes. That gives the schools more oppurtunity to enforce exactly what it wants to enforce, as well as the ability to revoke admission without lowering class size. This is true at my (high) school; because it has a long waiting list for each grade, the school will not hesitate to expel students not meeting its behavioural standards.</p>
<p>However, that does not mean that revoking admissions is common, even for unis with long wait lists.</p>
