Parents, your experience with required GPA level for Large Merit Scholarship?

<p>One of the schools our D1 was considering in her search 4 years ago has a 3.75 GPA requirement to keep their largest merit scholarship (full tuition award). She opted for a different school needless to say.</p>

<p>We’ve strongly suggested to our kids that anything higher than a 3.3 requirement should be seriously mulled over before committing to it, and stressed the importance of trying to “build a buffer” in the first 1-2 years before getting into the hardcore upper level classes.</p>
