I’ve never heard of someone not getting in. The GPA cap is mainly there to deter the biggest slackers from applying because it’s such a popular major. If you’re genuinely interested in the material, you could probably get in with less than a 3.0. That being said, if you’re in the low 3.0 range to begin with, you may want to reconsider declaring econ to begin with. The pre reqs aren’t the hardest classes out there, and material difficulty only gets harder, although the professors are generally more generous with the grading distribution once you pass intermediate micro/macro.
