I got an intern offer from one Big4 last September when my cumulative GPA is 3.73 and accounting major GPA 3.28. But some bad things happened to my family made me hardly concentrate in my final exams. I did really bad in one physics course and one math course, making my cumulative GPA drop to 3.54 while it did not affect my accounting major GPA since those two are all engineering related courses. Would this huge drop of my GPA would make my offer rescinded? I appreciate all replies.

Sorry for any misunderstanding here… So generally I am afraid my internship offer would be rescinded because of the 0.19 drop of my GPA.

Does your offer specify a minimum GPA?

I think you'll be fine. If anything, they might ask about why you did poorly in those classes and give you a way to explain what happened, in which case it sounds like you have a pretty logical explanation. Essentially, they would want to hear anything other than “I don't know, I just didn't do well.”

If you're feeling really proactive about it, you could e-mail your recruiter and give them a heads up, what you were dealing with, etc.

Don't worry about it at all! Just focus on locking up the full-time offer. Your GPA is still very strong, and very respectable. After I accepted my full-time offer at a Big 4 I naturally earned the lowest GPA of my college career the subsequent semester (3.06). As long as you don't fail anything or drop below a 3.0, you'll be absolutely fine.

You will be fine. Before I accepted my internship with the Big 4, my GPA was 3.59 and after, it dropped to 3.45. I managed to bring it back to over 3.5 in my last semester of undergrad.
