Hi! I’m stressing out right now I was admitted to UofT for environmental science and the requirements for my offer were to get a 70% in english (which I achieved), and a overall average of 75%. I ended up finishing with a 73.33%. And I received an email saying since I didn’t achieve the average my offer may be revoked. Do you think it will be revoked or should I be okay? How likely is it that my offer will be revoked. Thanks!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

hmmmm, interesting. most admission offers i’ve heard of provide much more ominously vague conditions, like “maintain your academic standing”.<\/p>\n

\"Mindy<\/p>\n

i’m sorry this is happening, it sounds like a really uncertain and upsetting situation! but honestly, i gotta say, as a fellow student, i am not really in the position to be telling you whether or not your offer will be revoked. i’m not involved in the admissions process at all, so that’s not my place of authority and i don’t wanna tell you something wrong in a consequential situation like this.<\/p>\n

\"Season<\/p>\n

i feel like i’d need to see the exact wording of that email to really determine how likely it is that you’ll be revoked. it does say on the admissions decisions page<\/a> of the artsci website that “students who don’t meet the required conditions by the posted deadlines can expected to have their offer rescinded”. and if you received an email saying you didn’t meet the conditions, well, it does seem pretty likely.<\/p>\n

but,<\/em> i’m not sure how often U of T rescinds offers (i don’t have any mutuals who this happened to). reddit, which keep in mind is not so reliable, says it doesn’t happen often and that it requires a huge grade drop of more than 10%. so who knows.<\/p>\n

regardless, you might wanna prepare yourself for either situation. here are some options i’ve heard of:<\/p>\n

apparently there might be a form linked in your conditional offer where you are able explain the extenuating circumstances behind a grade drop.<\/p>\n

i’ve also heard you might be able to take summer school to improve your grade average. i’m not sure how this works though, you’d have to directly contact enrolment services<\/a> to find out if it’s possible.<\/p>\n

so yeah, i know it wasn’t much but i hope this was somewhat helpful. good luck!<\/p>\n

over and out,<\/p>\n
