Hey, everyone!

I just had a quick question that’s been bugging me about post-admittance to a university:

If one was accepted to a university as prestigious as one of the ivy league schools - or even a school such as Duke or Stanford - what average would he/she have to maintain in order to keep the acceptance?

I was just curious because a friend of mine has gotten into Cornell with a 90 flat, and he is saying that if he drops more than 5% in average, he gets rejected. Yet, another friend has stated that you would have to drop 10% + in average in order to be rejected after the offer of admission. I applied to these schools, so I’m just curious as to what the answer is, if anyone has any proof/experience. Is it different for international/American students?

All help is GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!
