You did a great job @chercheur
On the links I supplied, if you go through every major in the 2017 admission analysis, all of the cumulative GPA’s are below 3.5 while the Math,Science,Engineering GPA can be higher than 3.5.
So you are correct, this analysis is the qualifying GPA’s for all of those who did not automatically qualify for their first choice major due to their cumulative GPA being 4.9 and under.
It is possible that the auto to major admits had 3.5 and higher cumulative and M,S,E GPA.
@AmberZhu123 so if your student didn’t make the 3.5 cumulative GPA for auto to his first choice major, a 2.59 cumulative gained entry to the major during the spring 2017 cycle (this is for class 2020, my son’s class).
I wish I had copied down the analysis for the class of 2018 and 2019 classes but didn’t and now the info isn’t on the site
