How much does second semester senior grades matter to colleges?

I know that colleges can rescind their acceptances if the student's grades dip too low. How low is too low though? I want to go to University of Miami and am awaiting a decision. All other colleges I've applied to have accepted me, so I think I have a good shot (I'm above their curve with a weighted GPA of 4.43, 3.8 something unweighted). Things have been tough outside of school and I've been overwhelmed lately. How much should I worry about keeping my scores up? Have any of you had a college rescind on you, or been in a similar situation?

    Unless they have given you a Conditional Offer specifying a specific grade average, then "too low" is a "D". Also, if you fails to take all of the prerequisite classes, your offer will also be RESCINDED.

    Maintain a decent GPA- 3.4 or higher. That's all they are looking for.
