[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DC just finished up applications.  We've started school up again and they have come to me asking to convert 2 AP classes to regular.  They are burnt out after overloading. And now they spent the holiday on applications.  After one week of already being sleep deprived, they have made the request. I agree but (and it's a big but) they decided this after we put in what they were taking for this coming semester in the common app.  Assuming they get into their dream colleges, could this result in offers being rescinded?[/quote]

I think the answer is, potentially. Especially if you're talking about a small school vs a state school. Class changes are supposed to be reported and when my DC was accepted to a T20 they were given essentially the dos and don'ts of finishing out high school. If memory serves - finish the classes you're taking, don't get anything below a C, and don't get any more than 2 Cs. That said, I know a kid who went to a SLAC and dropped an AP after being accepted ED, [b]but they ran it by the school first. [/b]

This. I would call the school first so that my kid knows what the consequences will be before making the switch. And then let them decide.[/quote]
