last semester gpa/conditional acceptance?

I’ve already been accepted to a good program, but I don’t think I will be able to maintain my current GPA. I’m pretty sure I’m looking at a C in one of my required courses. If my gpa suddenly dips, will the school back out on the acceptance? I don’t know whether or not this is a crazy question. My friend is planning to enter whatever field is necessary to become an epidemiologist; he had been “conditionally accepted” to a couple programs last year before deciding to do an extra year of undergrad and told me that if my GPA is not up to standards, I will be looking at the same thing. I don’t even know what the hell a “conditional acceptance” means lol.

(Specifically speaking, for the last 3 semesters I’ve had 3.2, 3.6, and 3.8 respectively but this semester I’ll be lucky to have a 3.0 the way it’s looking now)

Is it even possible for a school to change its mind after initial admittance?
