Vet schools pulling your offer

Hi everyone - long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a question about courses that we must complete in the spring semester. As I understand it, if you receive an offer from a school you must achieve a C or higher in all of your coursework to retain the offer. I assume that anything lower than a C will get the offer retracted? Basically, I'm asking if I make a D in anything this spring will I lose my spot automatically or would a school tell me to retake the course in the summer etc? I know what there websites say, I just wondered if the policy is really so cut and dried. Does anyone have any experience with this situation or know how a school would treat such an occurence? Thanks

Seeing as I had to re-send my transcripts 3-4 times AFTER I was accepted, I wouldn't mess with it. Don't get a D. Seeing as they (the vet schools) probably all have a ton of people wait listed, I wouldn't really test them on this particular policy.

From what I have read, all the offers are on the condition that you continue to meet their grade standards. ie No grade below a C and you make one, you didn't fulfill your end of the agreement. Or you don't complete a course by a certain date/with a certain grade. In both cases the offer would be rescinded.

I am pretty sure that Wisconsin just needed me to retain a C or better in their pre-reqs but didn't care about the rest. In fact, I don't think I had any pre-reqs left in the spring so I didn't even send them a transcript for it.

I hate to say it, but the answer, like most things in the application process, is simply 'it depends.' If you have an offer, you need to look at that school's policies. Some schools care whether you graduate, others don't, some only care about pre-regs, others it will be semester GPA, others it will be everything. And then, special circumstances may create exceptions (ie 'provided marrow to sibling in hospital and got a D in a class that wasn't required for vet med or degree program' will look different than 'was exhausted from years of study and got a D in vet school pre-req.')

it definitely 'does depend'. I had to get a B or better in my last two classes for the conditional offer.

What happens if your taking a bunch of extra classes in the spring to meet one schools requirements ( Western) and not another's, then your accepted to the school that does not require the extra classes you are taking, can you drop the classes and still be fine for the school that didn't require them?
