The acceptance later claims my admission is contingent upon it. Obviously I'm not planning on ripping up my homework and partying every day, but I was curious - how "strong" do they mean? i.e., how big of a drop will make them withdraw your admission?

Don't drop multiple classes to Bs, and I wouldn't even go near a C in even one class, if I were you. Even one C will get you a "disappointed" letter. Just keep working hard, but don't overstress yourself.

I've been trying to find the answer to this too. Does anyone know for sure? Now that I'm in I kind of want to let go just a little, so that I may get some sleep at night you know? I'm particularly worried about gym, my ridiculous teacher failed my group on a project that is worth half of the quarter grade... so now I'm going to have a C+ or B- on my transcript. I've been told they don't care about gym, but I'm hoping my teacher changes his mind about the grading (he has failed everyone so far) or I might end up calling in to find out myself. To get back on topic though, I'm going to try to keep everything above a B. I'm worried that even getting multiple B's would be bad, but maybe I'm just being paranoid.

I know people who dropped to all B's second semester of high school and nothing happened to them.

Just don't get Ds. You could drop to straight Cs, and all you'll have to do is meet with an advisor.

If you get one D you have to write a letter, and tell them what you are going to do better.

straight Cs?? i doubt that would be acceptable....

You can't drop to straight C's.....I got this letter last year for a C in calculus ....they don't take kindly to C's...I would suggest you just coast a little but don't take it too far
