What are offers of acceptance conditional upon?

[VladTheLad]

• What are offers conditional upon?
• Does the admissions office recalculate wGPA when final grades are submitted?
• Are final grades ever submitted?
• Suppose someone takes 5.5 FCE throughout years 1-3. Then takes 5.0 FCE in fourth year, but drops 0.5 FCE to end with 4.5 FCE. Do they rescind the offer?
• Can offers be conditional on taking X number of courses every year?

Asking from a fourth year undergraduate perspective, applying during fourth year.

Any answers are much appreciated.

I got my offer when I was finishing my fourth year and it was conditional upon me convocating. They didn't care about marks or courses. 

• Does the admissions office recalculate wGPA when final grades are submitted? No, at least not for UofT (unless changed recently). I heard NOSM does this though.
• Are final grades ever submitted? Yes, if you haven't graduated, but only to confirm convocation/completion of masters.
• Suppose someone takes 5.5 FCE throughout years 1-3. Then takes 5.0 FCE in fourth year, but drops 0.5 FCE to end with 4.5 FCE. Do they rescind the offer? No
• Can offers be conditional on taking X number of courses every year? I don't think so, never heard of this before. Is this question just your 3rd question reworded? 

Hope this helps! Good luck!

It's nice to have high marks though in case you don't get in one year so you can get in the next year, but fingers crossed that doesn't happen

You've honestly been such a huge help today, I was having the worst week, and your explanation just made me happy. I can't really explain why. Thank you.
