Do grades really matter once you have been accepted?
 
Do they matter? I think that depends on the school. Do they carry much weight? I dunno..probably not. Unless you've graduated, grades still count because you still have to send your final transcripts to the schools that accepted you. I don't think they'll revoke your acceptance if you do poorly, but I'd still try to get good grades until I graduate if I were you.
 
To quote another poster from a long long time ago (changed for my situation)

I'm staring down the barrel at a C in PCHEM.

This sucks, I really don't care that much about molecular orbital theory and quantum mechanics...but apparentally the regents who will confer (hopefully) my biochem degree do! +pissed+
