Standards are usually based on test scores, GPA, enrollment quotas, and other predetermined criteria. Student applications that move forward then go to committee, where college admissions counselors read applications and determine who gets accepted or rejected.
Can colleges rescind admissions based on grades?
Yes, colleges can and do rescind offers of admission. They will do so for poor grades on your final transcript and/or for school expulsions, suspensions, honor violations, and tangles with the law depending on the situation.

Can you appeal a college admissions decision?
If you had your heart set on a school that has rejected you, there’s a chance you can appeal the admission decision. However, you should realize that some schools do not allow appeals, and the chance of appealing successfully is always slim. You should not appeal simply because you are upset with the rejection.
Will one C get you rescinded?
Colleges will not rescind for a single “C” (although a “D” can be a different story). However, colleges don’t like to hear that you got busy with your extracurricular activities … even when that’s the truth. So if you don’t have a “good” reason for your grade drop, there’s no need to say anything at all.
