@AGmomx2 Thanks for your help!
I agree, the other thread has been addressed largely in regards to politics. I really don’t consider politics too important to my decision, but I was curious to see what kind of response I would get. As you noted, I downplayed it for this thread because I was looking more for the insightful information you replied with.
I’m glad to hear that the GPA requirement is cumulative, for sure. I respect where the university is coming from given the nature of the scholarship, and am very confident are my academic abilities and ability to continue succeeding as I already have. It seems like those who replied on the other thread didn’t think I could maintain a 3.5, but I feel like I’m capable.
Thanks for your advice and inviting @Beaudreau !
In regards to the “adamant contributors”, are you referring to the fact that some people are looking out for their own beliefs or alma matter? I just don’t want to misunderstand you!
I plan to visit either of these schools if they seem like a good fit following all of the advice I’m so fortunate to be getting. That’s honestly why I started all of these threads.
Thanks again for all your advice and kindness!
