When I applied last spring it was a hard-and-fast rule, if you had >3.0 in the pre-reqs (other classes didn’t matter) you were definitely in, I think if you missed you could write a letter of appeal or something.

The way I understand it, the “list an alternate major if your GPA is below 3.1” thing really matters only if you were completing a pre-req that semester (i.e. you wouldn’t know if you got into the major until after the semester, so your Econ GPA could fall below 3.0) and thus forces you to consider what you’d do if you didn’t get in.
