Will CCN revoke acceptance because of withdrawals in last semester?

Before the question, a bit of background:

K-JD here who, because of scholarship reasons (my scholarship runs out this semester), is taking 8 classes in order to finish a dual degree in Political Science and Statistics. I was finishing the Statistics degree for two reasons: 1) possibly increasing my GPA from 3.5ish to 3.6ish to improve acceptance chances and 2) better job prospects if I decided to put off attending law school for a year. Now that I've been accepted at CCN (2 of 3 so far), my motivation to finish the Statistics degree is much less than it was previously.

In light of that, I am considering dropping the stat classes I am taking, which is 4 of the 8 classes and would still leave me with a full time course load of 12 credit hours. My university doesn't do WF, so they wouldn't be calculated in my GPA, and I am certain that I could get A/A-s in my remaining four classes - which I assume would result in my ending my degree with a high 3.5X for both my university and LSAC. If I don't drop the classes, I"m not sure where my GPA will end up.

However, I obviously wouldn't want to drop the classes if it would throw my acceptances into risk. So that leads to my question, could having 4 Ws in my last semester of college but still taking a full time course load (and doing well) cause CCN to possibly revoke my acceptance?

I think as long as you get a degree you're fine.
