GPA Drop

I am a current sophomore recruiting for IB. I am at a near perfect CGPA right now. but I recently got in a situation w a professor and they failed me on both exams. I am worried that I will get a very bad grade - c/d - in that class. I am worried if that will led to any banks recinding my offer ( If I get any ).

I'm pretty fresh out of recruiting, but from my understanding, GPA is somewhat of a check-the-box type of thing. If this C/D doesn't drop your GPA below that threshold (3.6+ for most banks, preferably slightly higher), you should be okay. Most applications don't ask for an unofficial transcript either. For the ones that do, I can't speak to whether or not this failed class will affect you.

 

Thanks for the context. All my applications will be submitted before my semester GPA comes out. I am worried after I get the offer and my CGPA drop to like 3.4/3.35 will that cause them to resinced my offer
