Will DC get rescinded?

[Anonymous]

DC was enrolled in a school but was abruptly let go (boarding school) due to an incident outside of school that he was involved in. The school asked us nicely to withdraw DC, so that it would look as if his termination would look voluntary instead of being “kicked out”. We live abroad and thus can not send DC to a public school in the states, and thus they will enroll in an online school for the second semester. However this happened early January and because of the abrupt nature he will have missed a month before DC resumes their academics next week. They have been accepted to several schools EA already, and obviously is waiting on some schools during the regular round. Will DC’s: change in schools mid year/ enrollment in an online school/ taking slightly different courses due to availability/ 1 month gap in education affect his admissions and potential future acceptances?

Probably. You’d obviously need to disclose this.

Yes. That is unfortunate timing.

Probably as in he will probably get rescinded? Should they disclose this to schools they have already heard back from, or to all the schools they have yet to hear from? I thought that all the online school would need to do is send his transcript at the end of the school year after they have heard back from all schools, at what point would they indicate rescindment?

I think you'd have to contact the schools and explain what happened. You'd probably need to do that anyway so they can get the transcripts etc. I'd just say unforeseen circumstances led to the change and being out of country, it was difficult to facilitate. He did not get kicked out so that is not on his record, which is good, but I think you'll need to explain the situation with the gap.

Can the guidance counselor at the kicked out school give you some advice? This is tricky, but they might have some wording.

It sounds like the school he left is trying to cover for him so you can spin it as voluntary. I think probably he’ll be ok with the EA schools but I would consult the guidance counselor.

He will most likely be fine. The schools want transcripts and won't be asking too many questions beyond that.

Agree with this, don't let the others scare you any more. Also agree with asking the counselor at the prior school for advice- you have nothing to lose, and could gain valuable insight

Any changes is enrollment need to be reported to all schools applied to, whether the school has issued a decision yet or not. The impact this may have on any decisions, both those already made and those pending, is something no one here can tell you for sure.

This. Accept an EA and send in a deposit ASAP. It's a lot harder to resend when they have accepted payment especially if you are abroad in the EU and able to rely on their consumer protections.

Does it really say that somewhere? That you need to report a change in enrollment? I thought colleges just needed proof of graduation so a final transcript. I wouldn’t offer information unless asked. And in this case I’d be tempted to lie and say a medical issue made them return home and finish online. Or maybe a personal issue.
