I mean, I won’t be doing any more undergrad work between graduation and next fall, so I have a hard time seeing what, if I were to only be admitted conditionally, I would have to do during that time to improve.



You won’t be applying after graduation. You’ll be applying during the Fall semester of senior year, so the condition is on Fall semester grades and Spring semester grades. It’s usually conditional on an overall graduation GPA or a grade in a specific class.

I’ve also seen Conditional Acceptances dependent on standardized test scores. That usually happens when an international student doesn’t have a TOEFL score or when a school wants to see an additional score to prove some competency.

Also, keep in mind that EVERY admission in conditional to some degree. If you don’t graduate, switch majors, get arrested, get convicted of academic misconduct, etc, you might have your offer pulled.
