Engineering Questions:

Anyone have any information to share about the GPA requirements for staying in your major after a direct admit?

What do people do who don’t make the cut?

What do they end up majoring in? Do they drop out?

Thanks.

For what it’s worth, my kid’s engineering friends changed majors within College of Engineering, or adjusted their expectations for possible major, but all stayed in the College of Engineering.

adjusted expectations down, or toward a better fit?

Adjusted expectations – if someone didn’t have the gpa for ChemE, they chose a different engineering major they did have gpa for and were interested in.
