[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only stories I've heard about colleges rescinding offers are when accepted students have been found to be members of Facebook groups who have mocked other races.

Wasn't that about 2 or 3 years ago? It was Yale or Harvard and they kicked back maybe 6 students?

Someone else on this site is sure to have the absolute details...

So my point is, the change of heart about accepting a student would normally be due to the reporting of some extreme behavior.

I do know that some schools say they fully expect grades to remain at the same level through til the end of the year, but I don't know if the college you name has this policy or if they enforce it by asking for report cards.[/quote]

Harvard kicked out 12 students who had liked a racist joke or meme on Instagram or Snapchat. Their frenemies fellow students had captured the screenshot and sent it to Harvard after these students got admitted. 6 of the students apologized and were remorseful - Harvard kicked them out.   6 denied and lawyered up. They went to Harvard.

In anycase, the university will not withdraw acceptance for one C.  Usually they withdraw acceptances for bad behavior and failing. Taking drugs, driving while drunk, DUI, causing accident, disruption of school property, marching with the KKK, these are the kinds of things that will kick you out.

Oh, also, any stupid thing you do on FB (picture of you with beer in hand, breaking the law, racist meme, killing an animal)....[/quote]
[b]Ah, the Harvard hypocrites who didn’t even have a coed college until the 1970s.  :roll: [/quote][/b]

Any Radcliffe grad will tell you they are incredibly proud of that affiliation.  Many were horrified when the schools were merged.  One friend fought to have her diploma say Radcliffe, not Harvard (one of the last classes)[/quote]
