How much can I screw up my last semester?

How poorly would I have to do in my last semester to lose an offer from a school? I've made straight A's all of college, so if I were to make some B's this semester, would it be possible that some schools would rescind their offers?

what schools care about in general is the GPA they will have to report, and they already have that. So just don't fail out and you should be good

You put in all the effort to get straight As, why stop now?

Dat motivation wanes.

I just got a B+ on a book review; a few years ago I would've been distraught but now it's meh. OP, it generally seems like people have still matriculated even when their GPA fell significantly (apparently it's very hard to rescind an offer of admission), but it may vary based on how your numbers compare to the median or other factors. Just try not to bomb it too badly.

I think Spivey may have also answered this question in his thread.

You would likely have to really, really screw up. I think having a beer or playing Call of Duty is warranted -- congrats on the 4.0 and getting the law school admit you wanted!
