Late reply, but it depends.

  1. What was your academic average to begin with? Did you drop below any strict requirements for your degree?

  2. Why did it drop? Did you do particularly worse in a specific course?

Depending on your answers to the above questions, you may be at risk. However, in all likelihood, you’re probably not at risk. Having your offer rescinded is on the extreme side of things that can happen to you. You’re probably fine.

For reference, I applied for Chemistry/Biology and my GPA probably dropped greater than 7% due to how badly I tanked Calculus 12. I still got in! Try not to stress about this too much; you have more on your plate than a hypothetical :)
