<p>Is it possible that after my first quarter, since I was unable to maintain a 3.25 gpa, that my regents scholarship will be revoked? I heard from some scholars that you are on academic probation and given a quarter to raise it up. Also, it says a cumulative GPA, which means quarterly or yearly? I’m just wondering if anyone has any insight…
Thanks.</p>
<p>cumulative GPA = your GPA up till now.</p>
<p>Academic probation is different from your situation most likely. Anyone gets put on academic probation if their GPA for the quarter is below (I believe) 2.0. They have a quarter to raise their GPA above that mark or else they will be kicked out of school. So, unless you fall into that situation, it doesn't apply to you.</p>
<p>If your Regent's Scholarship required that you maintain a 3.25 or higher GPA & you got below that, yes - they may revoke the scholarship. I don't know if they will give you a chance to raise your GPA, it's up to them.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, its your gpa after 1 year (3 or 4 quarters im not sure). But more importantly...how does a regent get below 3.25 -___-</p>
<p>Rickywin-
if you dont mind, would you post your gpa/sat scores from when you got the scholarship (when you applied to Davis). I want to see if i have a chance at getting the regents.</p>
<p>Are you by chance an engineering major?</p>
<p>Yes I am an engineering major..why do you ask?</p>
<p>I ask because I'm hearing how hard engineering is and how tough the grading is for enginereing classes. Since schools hold all majors to the same scholarship GPA standard, no matter how hard the major, I'm learning it's harder for engineering students to keep their scholarships. Unfortunately, your case reinforces my fears. </p>
<p>My S will be a freshman at a school to be determined in the fall as an engineering student. He's applied mostly to UCs, but also to one private school (USC) that throws lots of money at freshman. I'm nervous about sending him there based on a scholarship but him then struggling to keep a 3/3.5/whatever to keep a scholarship and stay at the school.</p>
<p>How do you find the grading/difficulty at Davis? Are other engineering students in your situation?</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Engineering is very hard at Davis, possibly the hardest area of study here..</p>
