What's the consensus regarding admission revokes?

<p>Sorry, it’s been so long but I’m still not really clear on it. Last year, according to that ever-famous article</p>

<p>[CALIFORNIA</a> / Colleges crack down on taking freshmen with ‘senioritis’](<a href=“http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/10/BAGL9LLT7J1.DTL]CALIFORNIA”>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/10/BAGL9LLT7J1.DTL)</p>

<p>23 were revoked and 180 were “warned” out of 5400, so that’s approximately 1 out of 234 revoked and 1 out of 30 warned, is that right? Well then do I have to worry with my current second semester senior year grades looking like this:</p>

<p>AP Biology: C+
AP English IV: C+
Rock 101: A
AP Calculus AB: A-
Beginning Photography: C+
AP U.S. Government: B+</p>

<p>That gives me below a 3.00 GPA if the A- counts, and above if it doesn’t. I know that’s probably not low enough to get me revoked, but it certainly looks like I nearly have straight C’s, even though all my grades are higher than C. I was wondering, does anyone know anyone personally who did really badly and got revoked? Or anyone who did really badly and didn’t get revoked? This is probably going to bug me for the rest of the year if I don’t ask, so I guess I might as well just get it out now.</p>

<p>You should be fine. Just to be safe, you might want to bring your photography grade up.</p>

<p>Yeah, photography is my lowest grade in a non-AP class, but that class is just terrible, which explains my low grade…</p>

<p>And I’m not sure whether I’ve mentioned this before because I’ve told a lot of people, but last semester, I took AP Calculus II, got a D, and dropped it to take AP Calculus (AB) this semester. I already told UW about it, but will this increase (or even guarantee) my chances of getting revoked? They said in the freshman welcome packet that you must complete all coursework listed on your application, so will they expect me to take that class over again during the summer?</p>

<p>If you informed UW of the change early on, explaining the circumstances surrounding the change, you should be fine. If you would have changed classes, didn’t tell them, and they didnt figure out until reviewing final transcripts in the summer, then you would have a much bigger problem. Don’t stress over it. I think that they will look at your honesty/openess and not worry about it.</p>
