how good do grades have to be after your accepted

I think 2 or 3 of my 6 grades went down a half letter grade. I’d say relax, but don’t slack off too much. If one class is giving you grief (BC Calc for me hahaha), then one drop from A/A- to B-/C+ won’t rescind your acceptance. If more than half of your grades drop, then admissions might be questioning.

This is mostly speculative, but I think I’m probably on the right track. I know that all of my friends still put some effort into their second semester work and still went to the same school to which they committed.
