[quote=Anonymous]A couple years back, our DC got merit aid offers at 8 different engineering schools. One required a 1.0 GPA the first semester to keep aid. Then a rolling scale up to a 2.0 after 5 semesters until graduation. Most required a GPA of 2.0 with allowances for lower semesters with compensating higher semesters, but getting a 3.0 freshman year after getting a 1.0 is a lot of pressure so really it is close to a 2.0 every semester. A couple were 3.0 to keep ALL the merit aid but allowed you to keep some/most of the aid if you were "in good standing" that is a 2.0. DC really took this into account when choosing their school but has yet to have a semester GPA below 3.2 DC has corrupted one of the school's motto to read, "You are paying a lot of money so, go to every possible class, do all possible work, ask for help often: everything will work out."[/quote]
