It’s a 3.2 engineering GPA cut off at Purdue if you are doing CS in the college of engineering. To stay in good standing for any engineering major, you can’t have a course required for graduation below a C-.
My D didn’t see any crazy grading in any of her “weed out” courses which are the same for all engineers at Purdue.
IMO though, that’s very reasonable because it’s going to be tough to get hired with a 2.0 GPA or below.
My understanding is UW had a higher threshold.
