Background Check GPA Dropped

I got a call from HR last week about how they noticed during the background check that my GPA had dropped by a large amount due to me being a transfer student and not having that many units.

I explained the situation, to which they said that it makes sense since the courses that I took were very difficult and to keep them posted on how my next academic term goes.

Am I screwed or do I just have to do well this semester? Do you guys see any chance of my offer being rescinded?

Something’s not adding up here. You said your GPA was so “weak” and fluctuated a lot because you transferred and didn’t have many credits. Then you said not even a 4.0 next semester would bump it up 2 tenths of a point.
