My final admission average is going to be 69.8% and I need a minimum of 70% of my top 6. I slacked off and my average went down to 69.8% :( Will Carleton revoke my offer? The admissions office isn't replying to my email and I called and the person speaking to me was very rude when I asked if they round for the final admission averages and said no. I'm worried!! I don't know what to do??? Will they round a 69.8% to a 70? It's only 0.2 percent lol. HELP? **Shields**

Well, that person said no, so either call them back (hope for a different person), or cross your fingers. As for emails, Carleton takes a few days to get back if you don't email someone specifically (i.e. a professor, but that wouldn't help you much). Quote:It's only 0.2 percent lol. If they have 4 spots to fill, no one else has a 70% average, and 4 people have a 69.9% average, those 4 people will likely get the spots before you. That 0.2 could make the difference.

The person can have either 69.8 or 70.0, since the averages are all multiples of 1/6. **Shields**

You do realize that was simply an example (so just say that 4 people have a 70% average then)? I also wrote that at 11PM after my graduation ceremony, so logic wasn't necessarily present.

If there are 4 spots left, but 8 people have an average 70 or higher, all 8 of them will get in, since all of these people already got their acceptances and just need to meet their condition (hence spots left isn't really too applicable). **Shields**

Don't stress. They will not revoke you. They have something called "probation" meaning they sympathize on your average and will allow you to keep your spot. Carleton University: Cellular & Molecular Biology w Co-op- Decision: [Admitted]
