A 3.5 is half As and half Bs. No Cs. Yes, it is possible in any major. If you come in with 50 hours of AP credit, it may be tougher because a lot of the classes you could get As in will not be in the GPA. On the other hand, you may be able to take lighter class loads allowing you more time to work on each class. Most people who do poorly overall do so because they don’t know how to study or they party. If you keep your guard up for those things, you should do fine.

My understanding is that there is an appeals process if your grades dip below the 3.5, so you don’t lose the money right off but have a probationary semester to get your grades. Not sure how open they are about that but you might ask.
