Post-acceptance grades

The only condition for my post-acceptance is that I must graduate and complete all my courses with a C or higher.
So I applied/got in with a 3.8. I'm going to try to get the highest GPA possible, but if I get a lot of B's and C's, and my GPA drops to 3.5/3.6, but I still graduate, can the medical school rescind my offer?

I am more worried about dropping the medical school's average GPA when they pull out their statistics. Do med schools report the final GPAs for all their students, or the GPA they had when they received their acceptance?

How the hell is your GPA dropping 0.3 after 1 semester of grades?

The acceptance letter already says their expectations: graduate with at least a C in all of your remaining classes. They won't rescind your acceptance unless something drastic happens.

If I average a 3.0 for the next 2 semesters, it will drop to a 3.6

If I average a 2.0, it will drop to 3.35 (Probably won't happen)

Realistically, it might drop to 3.7

Some of the questions people ask on this site are truly mind boggling.

If a meteor came down and obliterated the school you got accepted into could you still attend somewhere else or do you have to apply again next cycle?

No school would touch you because you'll be seen as bad juju. Moral of the story: don't let a meteor obliterate the school you're planning to attend.

What cycle are you even in?

Lol good question. I was wondering that myself...

Thus, an entire class of medical school students could become bad juju and be SoL. How is this for a future WAMC:

"Accepted; did not matriculate because Tunguska-sized meteor obliterated medical school. Good topic for adversity essay? Does this hurt my chances in the eyes of potentially-superstitious adcoms?"

I wonder what would happen to accepted medical students if a catastrophic hurricane like Katrina befell a major city in July.
