Can an offer be rescinded for multiple dropped classes?

I have already accepted an offer at a top IB and have slacked off heavily this semester. I did poorly on a few tests and have had to drop 3 classes. I was wondering if this could result in a rescinded offer when HR sees the transcripts. Thanks for the help.

I don't understand - are you still going to graduate? If so, why were you taking the classes to begin with? Dropped classes don't show up on transcripts - only withdrawn classes do. You said "tests" so I assume the drop period has ended and these will show as Withdrawn? These types of questions never go well in public forums - no one wants to endorse this stuff in a google-able index-able format. Look at your university policy and talk to someone you're close with.

What the fuck are you talking about? If you graduate on time and still have enough credits to be a full time student, no one will care how many Ws you have.

I had like 6 and it never came up, either for full time jobs or MBA applications.

 

I never said anything negative about Ws, I was just asking for clarification because he said Dropped. Thanks for cussing at me for no reason.

Was referring to this comment. Again, what the fuck are you talking about?
