Will DC get rescinded?

[Anonymous]

There's got to be another private school that will take your child and graduate them.

You're clearly rich, so start using your checkbook to do the talking.

I'd also tell your kid to accept admission at one of his EA's and pay the deposit ASAP.

Go and read the applications that your child submitted. There may be specific language on updates. I would think that being proactive is your best approach - but you might want counsel from an private admissions counselor

Test it out - reach out to one of the EA schools that is not a top choice. Share that your child needs to move school for the last semseter and ask what information they need. Use this as a test to figure out how the admissions office will approach

What if the offense was shoplifting ?

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?

What did he do?

Then hopefully he was accepted at Oberlin.

Recommend accepting admissions asap.

Also, honestly, the school is letting you spin this as you wish. You live abroad. Seems reasonable that there could be a family emergency that requires DS to move back to wherever you are and enroll online. Too late to get into a new in person school. I say that not knowing what happened with your kid and how awful they are for whatever it is they got kicked out for.

Probably as in he will probably get rescinded?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?

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.

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.

Yes it says that everywhere on every application!

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.

Is he living with you? Say that you wanted him home for a few months before he left for college. I mean, there are other reasons this could happen like an illness or something. I would ask for help from he counselor even if he was requested to leave.

No boarding school is EXPELLING a kid final semester of senior year for anything other than a major incident.

Parent of a boarding school kid and this is not true at all. DC's school is strict and seems to like making examples of 17/18 year old kids who made a mistake. There have been a couple of seniors who have been asked to withdraw like OP's this year and every year we have been there.

EU protections do not govern U.S. universities.

I vaguely recall Harvard rescinding acceptances of students who participated in a racist group chat. But I never hear about students sending proof of graduation. It would have been quite possible for me to get my Ph.D. without finishing any prior degrees.

Colleges can pretty much do whatever they want. But realistically, it is a large administration. There is a big chance that some secretary rubber-stamps the final documents in the summer. If they inquire, I would say that there were family issues; the student withdrew, returned home, and transferred schools while applying to European colleges.

Give an example please. What did a kid do that made them have to withdraw.

Example 1. Vaping 2nd offense is one 4.0 unweighted GPA student with multiple leadership roles in EC's.

Example 2. Group of seniors got caught skipping class. One lied about who else was with them to protect their GF/BF. School disciplined all the kids. Kicked out /forced withdrawal the one who lied to protect their GF/BF and suspended the one who suggested the kid lie. The one who was suspended for suggesting the first kid lie also has this on their permanent record that will go to colleges.

What kind of “mistake?”
I highly doubt OP’s kid was asked to withdraw because he accidentally wore navy socks instead of black.

So, very valid reasons. No college should want a student with substance abuse problems or a liar.

See first post above yours with 2 recent examples at DC's school. I am not OP and have no reason to believe her DC is at the same school as these examples were both from before Thanksgiving and with US based students.
