I didn't do so well this semester...

First semester can be difficult due to the adjustment process, etc.

Most schools will not take away your financial aid (merit) awards for one semester of poor work. You may get put on probation and if your GPA doesn’t improve, then you could be in danger. Check the rules on your award.

Also, 3.15 is the average GPA for the entire school. I would venture a guess that the average GPA for freshmen is lower than that.

Good luck, RPI is a tough school.
