Do Our Senior Grades Matter

[SuddenlyParanoid]

So i took on too heavy of a course load this semester and it's going to knock my cumulative gpa down a bit. I'm submitting all of my applications in the next week with my current transcript. Schools aren't going to unaccept me when they look at senior year grades, are they?

What's your current GPA and what is "a bit"? If you have made A's throughout the years and suddenly you fail all of your courses, they're definitely going to have second thoughts. If you just hit a road bump, I don't think it will completely wreck your acceptance.

Since you're going straight from one degree to the next, your acceptances will all be 'conditional'. Usually the condition is just that you finish your current degree, but they may put on a condition about grades. For example, I had a friend who needed to maintain an A- average over his senior year in order to fulfill a conditional admission. Going from a 4.0 to a 3.7 isn't going to get you turfed from any program, but a serious drop in courses in your field *might*. Just might. You won't know until you see your admits.
