<p>If the college just say “your offer of admission is contingent upon maintaining the same high standards for which you have been chosen”, does it imply that they expect us to send our final report?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if LACs ask for IB final results once you get in one of them?
Is getting one or two grade lower than the previous grade but having a clear pass okay?</p>
<p>I mean, will a fall in grade by one or two but a clear pass get you rescinded by a LAC?</p>
<p>thanks…</p>
<p>I can’t talk about IB’s, but if you go from A’s to B’s and maybe one C you’d probably be fine. You normally have to screw up pretty badly to get admission rescinded.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>“Yeah, and getting all those Cs will also get your acceptance rescinded from many top colleges. I know of a kid who got into Yale EA and then got rescinded for getting two Cs, much less straight Cs or a B average. The top schools are looking for straight A or near-straight A students and that’s what they expect to get. If you prefer another, easier path, go for it. Enjoy your slacker life - you will have earned it.”</p>
<p>hahaha, the funny this is is that you dont even know ANYTHING about me. considering i work a part time job on the side and get good grades and applied (and got in to) good colleges, id say that your assumption of how i live my life is completely unfounded. but of course, it wouldnt help your point if i wasnt a “slacker.” not only that, but ive already set up potential internships with lawyers near my top 5 colleges. all i have to do is pick the college, then call up the lawyer. and no, my parents didnt help me one bit, and no, it isnt nepotism. but hey, im a slacker, right? im a slacker for trying to enjoy my life and trying to enrich myself! maybe you all forgot how it was when you were a senior in high school. and if you didnt, multiply that feeling by 100 now because getting into top schools in your day is nothing like it is now. </p>
<p>great, ill take full responsibility if my acceptance is rescinded. in fact, if any of my acceptances get rescinded, ill send you a card saying “you told me so.”</p>
<p>"Timothy’sMonster- I posted previously (see post #9) about personal integrity. You posted for parents to “chill”.You also posted in another thread that involved cheating and your response was:</p>
<p>“id ask to be involved in the cheating. only if i knew no one else would find out.”</p>

<p>Personal integrity, it doesn’t “chill”."</p>
<p>apparently sarcasm doesnt come across well over the internet…</p>
<p>learning is overrated.</p>
<p>“Your offer of admission is contingent upon…”, this particular sentence, I gather appears in many acceptance letter, prolly adcom’s favourite sentence, what do the adcoms seriously mean by it? Is this sort of offer conditional?
Do they check after you by calling at your high school and stuffs? How would they know about my final result and whether I am doing well or bad?</p>
<p>you send in your final grade report… if you do very poorly then you can get rescinded. My friend got his acception rescinded because he got a D his second semester senior year. Slack off, but don’t slack off too much.</p>
<p>Most schools will require a year-end grade report.</p>
<p>And they <em>will</em> contact you if they feel you aren’t working up to the standards on which they based your acceptance. They’ll usually give you a chance to explain any precipitous drop, and some schools will offer admission but under academic probation. </p>
<p>First-hand knowledge speaking.</p>
<p>But my college didn’t ask for my final grade, it just told me to maintain my academic standard, btw I am an international student, so I don’t think they will call at my high school. My college is a LAC, rank between 20-25 (US news & world report)</p>
<p>What do you guys think? On the Enrollment Card, unlike other colleges like Hamilton and Carleton, where my frnd got into, there wasn’t a statement requiring my signature saying that I will have to maintain the same high grades. The CONTINGENT thing was just on the acceptance letter.</p>
<p>So I dunno!! puzzled for sure…</p>
<p>Final official transcripts are necessary for successful matriculation. The final transcript would indicate diploma conferred and your last semester’s grades. This is usually required as soon as the official transcript is complete. So therefore, offers can be rescinded before school even begins in the fall.</p>
<p>The second semester of senior year is a time to hang out with friends you will never see on a regular basis again, and to spend some time actually enjoying yourself. Where you go to collegve is not contingent upon 2nd sem performance, and once you’re a freshman in college, you’ll back fondly on the friendships you made and the experiences you had-not whether you got a 78 on a Calculus test.</p>
<p>We see offers get rescinded every year at our local high school, and we see some get rescinded here on CC every year too. Kind of sad, really, to throw it away right at the end of such a long and successful effort - kind of like dropping out of a marathon at mile 25 while leading the race.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>what a slacker attitude! i hope you enjoy your slacker life because no one ever does well in life when they get a C on the report card. its a proven fact. i just wont show any proof or anything.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s time for some of the under-18 set to go back to the student boards and leave us parents to kvetch about senioritis?? 
I do - usually - enjoy reading students who post on the parents board, but some of the posts on this thread are becoming less than mature.</p>
<p>i think it was pretty immature to label me as a slacker when the person who said so doesnt even know me in real life. wouldnt you agree?</p>
<p>No, I don’t. You posted, we responded. The naivete and innocence of youth! We were all there and I, for one, didn’t slack. We didn’t find out our class rank until just before graduation. There was no preliminary. And, yes, I was accepted to college ED, SUBJECT TO FINAL TRANSCRIPT. And they meant and still do mean it. Kids have had their acceptances rescinded. That’s a fact. That’s why parents are concerned. There is this preconception in hs seniors that once they are accepted that is the end of the line - it is - unless the letter comes saying, “We are sorry, but…” None of us want to see this happen to kids who have worked so hard for their goals and dreams. But we see kids throw it all away. A few months more work to ensure your goal is such a minimal commitment in the scheme of things. We are NOT saying don’t have fun, just don’t put everything into jeopardy. And since when is senior year a time to see friends, etc.? Silly me, I thought it was time for you to do your job, which is to be educated, and graduate and make sure you get into the college to which you were accepted. And, yes, you are to be commended about going out and setting things up for yourself. But it’s just like tennis - you can hit the shot, but if you don’t have the follow through, you lose.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ok, so it was not immature to call me a slacker even though that was a completely baseless comment because i posted and you responded? great logic. by that same logic, my comments were not at all “immature” because you (collectively) posted and i responded.</p>
<p>your condescending manor must make you feel real good about yourself, oh so worldy wise woman. im naive? hardly. but you can make that judgement cause you know me right? innocent? i wish i was. but you can make that judgement, again, because youve known me for my entire life, or atleast long enough to confidently make that judgement, right?</p>
<p>when did i personally say that once i was accepted to college i was going to stop trying? when did i say slacking was alright? theres a difference between slacking and not trying. its all relative to the individual really. if youre a straight a+ student, slacking to you may be getting a minuses. not trying means exactly what it says. </p>
<p>i think you need to re-read my posts and re-evalute your biases and assumptions of my character and life i choose to live.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Okay, I reread them, and here’s a little gem I found:</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>That’s slacker attitude all the way.</p>
<p>thats not indicitive of my performance. when did i say i was doing that? it was a hypothetical.</p>
