Do colleges look at your grades after they accept you?

Can colleges tell if you’re lying?

They notice when things you say don’t match with what your teachers or counselors say in the letters of recommendation.

Do students lie on their college applications?

What happens when you get accepted to a college?

Why are so many college students being revoked as freshmen?

These revocations are completely avoidable, however, and it’s not difficult for students to do.

If you applied as an “A” student, you can’t slide through senior year with “C’s”, or by dropping all your AP classes.

What could cause my college admission to be rescinded?
