Do schools ever withdraw acceptances?

I am currently finishing my last semester at University, and basically was forced into taking a weed-out accounting class (long story). There is a good chance that I might end up with a C in this class, which would really bring down my last semester GPA. I've already been accepted at my top choices, but I'm wondering if schools ever look at the last semester transcript and decide to withdraw an acceptance to a school because of a bad grade? (UNC and columbia in particular.....)

If you end up with a C in the class, you're (most certainly) fine. Plus, accounting and public health are fairly disconnected anyway (unless you're going into health administration).
If you started failing the class (or classes), it might matter.
One bad mark won't hurt you, especially because public health schools seem to take a generally hollistic approach to admissions anyway.

I've really never known anyone to have admission retracted from them. I think it's only is fairly extreme cases.
