Do grad schools look at your results in the last semester?

  • This has become our largest and most active forum because the physics GRE is just one aspect of getting accepted into a graduate physics program.
  • There are applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation, visiting schools, anxiety of waiting for acceptances, deciding between schools, finding out where others are going, etc.

Hi I am curious if your graduate school will look at your academic results (and alter their admission decision :x !?) of the last semester even if you've already accepted its offer. Does anyone (esp. the grad students) know? :)

No. The only condition of the acceptance is that the student receive a degree. So if you do very badly and don't graduate, then the acceptance can be withdrawn. I suppose some acceptance letters might make a statement about the final semester grades, but I've never seen one.
