<p>I'm just wondering how difficult it is for a typical USC student to get a 3.0? For the scholarship I am receiving to carry over into future years, I need to maintain a minimum 3.0, and I want to make sure that that is a reasonable goal before I commit for four years to a school I may not be able to pay for. Can any Trojans give me an idea?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. They wouldn’t have picked you for the scholarship if you were going to have any problem maintaining that level unless something drastic happens. If you’re planning on completely reneging on whatever work ethic you’ve developed over your entire scholastic career, you might have an issue. Otherwise it won’t be a big deal.</p>
<p>There’s also a probationary period if your GPA falls below 3.0, so you do have some warning. Overall, though, college grades seem a lot more daunting than they actually are.</p>
