I have 6 acceptances on December 1st and was just wondering about grades from here on out. I've had a rougher semester (Traveling a lot for interview, two deaths in the family, etc.) and have missed quite a lot of school so my grades are suffering for it. I don't expect to have any D/C's, I expect mostly B's but almost every letter of acceptance says to maintain or improve my GPA. I have a 3.8 so I know I won't improve it this semester but am worried about the maintain part. Like I said I expect mostly B's in my classes but am just curious how far my GPA can drop before the provisional acceptance is revoked?
 
Yea i'm looking at mostly B's this semester as well (no C's). My GPA is going to drop for sure! I really hope they don't mind.
 
Most (if not all) just want you to pass your classes with a reasonable amount of effort (don't get C's and D's) A's and B's should be completely okay.
 
Yeah B's and a couple of C's even are totally fine haha
 
Same boat (kind of). Really shouldn't have signed up for a class that grades on attendance/participation lol. A couple of the acceptance emails I got said to get at least a C in everything, so I can't imagine they'd rescind your offer for B's. Schools know that highly competitive applicants like you seem to be would be traveling for many interviews and missing classes.
 
C's or higher.

Story of my life.
I'm pretty sure I'll get an A in immunology and ecology but a C in English 104 because it's an attendance based class..
I'm crying inside.

You are absolutely fine as long as you are in the B range. I wouldn't get C's even though couple of C's here and there is no big deal. You have worked so hard for your GPA in the last 3 years, do your best to keep it up.
