@AmberZhu123 There is no direct admit to his desired major.
To be guaranteed his first choice of major, yes, he must maintain a 3.5 GPA. Have students received their first choice with less than 3.5 cumlative? Yes.
They will actually use two GPA’s. A student’s overall GPA and their engineering required class GPA.
