I’ve seen a few posts regarding CMU’s rescind policy, but the only ones with concrete info, rather than “you’ll be fine” are from 2012. Supposedly the official policy is, don’t fail more than one class according to this:

Will CMU mind if I have a C+ (79) as a final grade for contemporary literature honors? I just took the final exam yesterday so there’s nothing more that can change my grade.
Carnegie Mellon Office of Admission: Ryan, we typically only ask for an explanation of a drop in grades when a student receives a D or F after being admitted."

What is the policy on rescinding students? Is there a minimum GPA, etc.
Carnegie Mellon Office of Admission: Alex, there isn’t a minimum GPA set for rescinding an offer of admission, but if a student receives a D or F after they’ve been admitted the offer may be rescinded. If this is the case, the Office of Admission requests that the student submit a letter explaining the poor grade. Then the decision of whether or not to rescind the offer of admission is made by the college the student has been admitted to."
I definitely won’t have any failing grades, but I might have a few Cs. Can anyone offer insight into what may happen to me?
