Xiao De has always heard of the incident of "issuing the wrong offer and withdrawing it" in American universities, and even saw someone jokingly saying, "Shouldn't this be the annual school drama!".”
No, the ridiculous words are still in my ears, and recently Northeastern University staged the wrong offer again!
According to news reports, a spokesman for Northeastern University said that 48 of the approximately 64,000 applicants for master's degrees received offers due to technical errorsAt present, the student has been contacted urgently for clarification!
It seems that Northeastern University has a relatively mature contingency plan for this kind of incident.
After all, in October 2022, the incident of law schools issuing 205 admission letters by mistake due to technical errors is still vivid!
Of course, this is not the most outrageous;What's even more helpless and funny is that a netizen said, "Since I applied for NEU, I have received their offers for three consecutive years"!
Although these mistaken incidents now seem to be after-dinner gossip.
But imagine if you received an offer and are happily sharing it with your family and friendsEven after comprehensively comparing the offers he had, he rejected other colleges and universities, and planned to enter the school to start a new life
Then one day or a certain moment, the mailbox ding-dong-
Open it and see that the school is going to withdraw your offer!
Oh my God, it's not funny!It's a horror!The horror level is full of stars!!
Therefore, as long as you have not officially entered the school, you should not take it lightly.
Because even if it is not sent by mistake and if you are not careful, the offer is very likely to be withdrawn by the school.
The following 5 points, Xiaode hopes that everyone must pay attention in advance and avoid stepping on the pit!
Melissa, deputy director of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), said in an interview
One of the most common reasons why universities don't cancel offers for no reason (and there are oolongs, as in the case above) is that as graduation approaches, students tend to slack off, leading to a sharp drop in grades.
For example, in the final year of my senior year, my GPA suddenly plummeted and fell below the school's admission requirement of 34. Then there is a high chance that your offer will be cancelled.
Application materials such as transcripts and letters of recommendation are very important during the application process.
If the materials are incomplete, then the university may consider the place to be forfeited!
So, don't forget to check your school's email and submit your documents as requested.
For example, the students whose offers were cancelled by the School of Engineering of Columbia University were boiled over before was because:
Before leaving, this classmate posted a message "I can finally go to the United States, and when I get to the United States, I will buy a circle of friends."
Universities expect students to reflect their ideals and values.
As a result, students who make bad remarks or exhibit bad behavior can be expelled from the university.
In general, any type of academic dishonesty, whether plagiarism or cheating on exams, can be a hindrance to your admission to top schools.
In particular, recently, news such as "TOEFL test questions" and "passing" for domestic students have been spreading among American universities.
Students who try to get an offer through the "so-called shortcut" will find that they will not be able to match the English level on the transcript after the start of the semester, and then they will be closely watched by the admission office.
In general, behaviors that affect admissions include drug and alcohol abuse or other charges of arrest.
If you do not successfully graduate from the bachelor's degree, you will also be revoked by the university.
Although there are always some unpleasant things to happen during the application season!
But students must try to relax, as long as the preliminary work is done well, the offer will definitely not be less!
