Possible to maintain a 3.5 in Aerospace Engineering?

confusedper, I sent you a message, did you get it? What is your major?

I found this chart so that does help knowing that 21.5% of Engineering students have a 3.5 but is the requirement EVERY SINGLE QUARTER? Here is the link to the chart:
Undergraduate Statistics;

This seems pretty hard and there isn’t any information about a “probation period” if your gpa drops, like how long you have to get it back up. Did you see anything like that? No wonder only about 10 people take it out of 50-it’s scary!

If you lose the Jacobs because of a drop in the gpa or want to leave Engineering and still have a 3.0gpa, then you still keep your Regents so if you have financial need, it’s met with the Regents scholarship. I guess that’s kind of a safety net. Over 30% in Engineering have at least a 3.0 gpa. DS has had straight As, always, but there is a lot of pressure having so much $$ at stake.

Most of all, I also don’t like that DS would have to reply by April 9th, right BEFORE the Drake Scholarship for Berkeley is announced. I thought he would have until May 1st to decide and this kind of time pressure is not good. That is just 3 days after Triton Day.
