How does conditional graduate standing work @ GaTech

hey guys, so i got accepted into the MS program in Electrical Engineering at GaTech. But I'm struggling with one class in my last semester as an undergraduate. By struggling, I mean, I might have to retake the class to graduate icon_sad.gif.

I still really want to go to Georgia Tech for graduate school, but I fear that they might rescind/revoke my admission for getting bad grades in my final semester.

If that does happen, do you think I could still ask for conditional graduate standing so that I could take a few courses there and prove that I am capable of graduate study?

Is that conditional graduate standing means? Here is what I read from their official website, I couldn't completely understand it:

"If the work of an applicant holding an approved bachelor's degree is deficient in content or quality so that supplemental study or demonstrated ability is necessary, the applicant may be accorded conditional graduate standing."

Please help!

You should call and ask them. instead of asking the department directly, you could always ask the graduate school. They're probably too busy right now to worry about who you are, what program you're in, or even your name, so asking an administrative assistant a quick question probably won't get back to your department.

hey thanks for that response, i tried that recently and only got a generic response from the person who answered the phone. they wanted to know more details but i was unwilling to give them any, but i also did not want to lie, so i thanked them and hung up........

are there any potential georgia tech students who got accepted into their grad programs who received conditional admittance.
