[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I got the consensus on the Merit scholarship. 😕 My DC is not highly motivated in improving his SAT, even though it’s the only thing he can do to move the needle. He got a B and a C taking calc BC as a junior. I still don’t understand what GPA kid has to have to get into Engineering. Does it have to be 3.9 and above? Just to clarify not CS. [/quote] Have him retake calculus this summer. [/quote] +100, definitely retake Calculus Your biggest problem is not merit from UMD (although that is always nice to get) Your problem is that with that level of mastery of calculus, he has a high chance of dropping out from the program altogether. Calculus is the base, the foundation of much of the subsequent learning. If he got a mercy C for it in HS, he may not be able to keep up with subsequent coursework.[/quote]
