The faculty directly or admissions officers?

Yeah, they didn't upload her nightschool class correctly, so she got a letter of rescindment. But they dealt with the issue very quickly.

Be polite, let them know you really want to go here and will try your best. They like to see that and might be more lenient.

do you think it'd be easier to get a competitive average for transfer at carleton in comparison to york?
and yes, poli sci

one of my cousins goes to carleton for poli sci. He also got into u of t, laurier, york and other amazing schools, but he chose carleton. The reason for that is its much easier to pull off high marks compared to york, u of t, etc. In the future, if for example law school is where you want to go, its better have marks high as possible, thus, he would choose Carleton over york. They are both good universities but its up to you to decide. Good luck.
