Hi there! So, I'm gonna start this by saying that if this comes across as an "overthinking" post to make, or quite anxious, then yeah, guilty, I know.

Anyway, I got into UofT and I accepted recently. I'm in my last semester of undergrad, obviously, and one of my courses is.. not looking good. I'm still going to pass, but I'm probably going to get a C or even a C-, and I can't CR/NCR bc I need it for my program. I've never gotten anything below an A- in a course before, and maybe it's exam season jitters, but I've started overthinking, thinking, what if when I submit my final transcript to UofT Law they rescind my offer bc of how much a C lowers your GPA? There's nothing about conditional offers on their website, it only says that you need to complete the program/degree, which I will, but I just got super anxious and was hoping someone could tell me their thoughts. I emailed the admissions with a general query asking if there were any other conditions of the offer other than completion just to be sure, since I know I'm probably overthinking, but the illogical, stressed part of my brain is saying "they're going to take your offer back, and since you already accepted which cancelled your other offers, you're screwed!" Has anyone been in a similar situation or know for sure that this won't affect my offer?

The only condition is for you to finish your degree. Your offer will not be withdrawn unless you do not finish your degree. An individual grade does not result in recession.

You're good. Just get ready for the curt response to your e-mail inquiry!

Just thought I'd update in case anyone finds this later and has a similar issue. Here is what UofT responded to my email:

"Thank you for the inquiry.
The conditions we provided in the letter are as started i.e. pertain to completion. However, please be aware that as a law student, for any legal jobs you may seek, employers will ask for your undergraduate transcripts, therefore the performance on the final year of courses will be observed by employers.

As with any incoming student, please follow all of the online Next Steps to undertake for starting in August at www.law.utoronto.ca/newadmit

We hope this helps to clarify."

I'm no expert on hiring, but I HIGHLY doubt your undergrad marks will matter for being hired in law school, especially in this context of just one bad semester.

Don't overthink it, get through this semester the best you can and then kill it in law school 🙂
