PeanutButterJellyTime Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Hey all...random question. I am attending HDS in the fall, and am finishing my undergrad now. I was admitted with (what I believe to be the standard) "terms and conditions": "Please note that your offer of admission is contingent upon the completion of any courses and programs in progress at a standard comparable in quality to that of your past academic performance. We encourage you to carefully review the statement of the terms and conditions of your acceptance." And then... "All acceptances to Harvard Divinity School are contingent upon satisfactory completion of any courses and degree programs in progress. You are responsible for satisfying any unfinished requirements prior to matriculation; no exceptions can be made. If you are currently an undergraduate student, you must complete all bachelor degree requirements before matriculating at Harvard Divinity School." My question is this. What does "standard comparable in quality" and "satisfactory completion" mean? Since applying my grades have dropped--not significantly, mind you (I'm still above a 3.8 GPA, where I was a 3.9 when I applied...) but I'm a worrier by nature. Does anyone have any advice or answers about this? Could one B or C kill me?
sacklunch Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Naw, you will be fine. The only way you would not be able to attend would be if you didn't complete your BA. You will have to send them your transcript once you graduate and AFAIK the admissions office just verifies you actually graduated. You're good.
