@PAHoosier Sorry for the late response! With those stats I don’t think he will have any problem, especially to DUS. If for some odd reason he does not get in, you could call and have him revaluated for a different major, since DUS seems to have upped there requirements a bit this year. But again, I don’t think he will have any issue.
