Questions from an admitted student!

@AGmomx2, Industrial Distribution is not engineering, though. It’s in the Industrial Engineering department, but it is not an engineering degree.

But, in any event, I have a son who graduated with a 4.0 in engineering. It is definitely doable. But I do know others who did not keep their scholarships. But, @biomedicaltennis, just to be clear on the way the 3.5 works at TAMU, it is cumulative. If the student falls below the 3.5, then he is on “scholarship probation” for the next semester (but keeps the scholarships). If the student does not bring the GPA up to 3.5 at the end of that scholarship probation semester, then he can appeal. I only know 1 student who appealed and his appeal was granted, but he was only 1 grade off of the 3.5. That appeal gave him one more semester to bring his GPA up to 3.5. So you have plenty of warning. I also know students who took easier classes just to bring the grades up for that one semester.

So, if the scholarships are absolutely necessary in order for you to attend, by all means consider the possibility of losing them if your GPA drops below a 3.5. It is a risk. But if you end up deciding that TAMU is the place for you, go for it! Many many many students are able to keep above a 3.5. Just be one of them!
