Minimum requirements for grad school offer
Once you get an offer for grad school, do you need to maintain a certain GPA or do they only care that you graduate at that point?

Depends on the school and the program. Some schools ask for overall GPA, some ask for the last 2 years (thank god), some don't ask at all.

It will say on the offer itself. For example, mine says I need to maintain a B+ GPA over the final two years of my degree, and earn my degree.

what do they mean by 'last two years'? Like your third and forth year courses or the courses you take in the last two years?

If you're wondering about McMaster specifically, I just received an offer for grad school from them and need to maintain a minimum GPA of B+.

Yeah I just got the official letter too, but mine just says that I need to maintain a B+ in my final year.
