Utah has generous grading policies so a 3.6 GPA is pretty easy to maintain if you qualify for the scholarships (where you would be far above the mid 50% range) and don’t spend all your time skiing - generally you would be surprised/disappointed by any grade lower than an A. They publish the GPA percentiles by major, the 50th percentile is around 3.5 for most majors. The full ride (Eccles) renewal requirement is 3.5, and they said no one has ever lost the scholarship by not meeting that cutoff.

If true, that seems like an attractive place for pre-meds to attend, if they get the big scholarship there (free undergraduate, unlikely for GPA to fall below what a pre-med needs).
