No Motivation for Senior Year

Grinned all throughout undergrad as math-econ major (non-target) and currently have a 3.75+ gpa in senior year. After securing a FT IB spot, I've had much less motivation to do well in school. Dropped the math major honestly for more free time and less stress, but still am feeling overworked. Maybe it's because I'm anticipating not having free time after starting IB so I'm stressing my self out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You have every right to just chill out. It’s senior year, it doesn’t matter anymore. You’ve already secured the offer, as long as you don’t have a drastic gpa drop (I’d say below a 3.5) then you have nothing to worry for.

 

Below a 3.5?? Can anyone confirm this, that’s still a high threshold I doubt there’d be anything done if you maintained above a 3.0?
