What exactly constitutes an "acceptable final semester GPA"?


In most cases I'm assuming once your accepted, they won't pull an acceptance unless you completely slack off and your GPA goes down substantially.


My grades are pretty normal to where they have been, but I'm just curious

In my acceptance it mentioned nothing below a "B". I am definitely having to put a large amount of effort in this last semester in a Biology class that is kicking my butt. I have heard other people say all they need is C's for different schools. I would imagine nothing to drop your GPA below what it was when you were admitted.

Damn that sucks haha. It's ridiculous to require a 'c' to get admission but to then require a 'b' to retain admission.

That's my problem, they didn't specify anything but only said an "acceptable GPA determined by the Physical Therapy program".

I've never heard of a requirement like this. Whatever you do, get a B in this last Biology course and you should be fine. Every program I applied to required me to simply complete the course, whether it was a C or an A. If you need an "acceptable GPA" however, then you must apply maximal effort. Have you contacted the school directly?

No I haven't. I feel like that is a really awkward question to ask them.

How is clarifying an ambiguous statement considered awkward? Ask them what they deem to be an acceptable GPA to maintain your acceptance.
