TTT

DePaul: good academic standing

..

Bama is top 50% this year, and no possible renewing.

Edit: I meant if you fall below that you can't renew a percentage like you did last year.

SMU is "good academic standing", although that's for the non full ride scholarships. I believe full rides have been top X%, though I haven't seen any given out so far this year.

Minnesota is "good academic standing", which they consider to be a GPA of 2.5 of above.

Iowa is "good academic standing", which they consider to be a GPA of 2.1 of above.

Georgia requires a GPA of 2.7 (B-) or above at the end of 1L and 2L otherwise you lose it all.

good to know. the more info the better.

At UMN our median is typically close to 3.3 & goes up 2L & 3L.

B- is very bad grade here. I have a good friend who had a 2.6 after 1L & he has to be practically last in the class.

sublime wrote: Yea, it is terrible here too. Our top 33.3% cutoff is 3.67 (Median is not published) so a 3.0 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY below median. Like you would probably have to try to do that badly.

Ok, I left "3.0" out since it is really misleading without context due to the scale

..

FTW!!

Temple - top 2/3rds
Washington and Lee - good academic standing
IU Maurer - good academic standing
Illinois - good academic standing
Chicago - Kent - good academic standing

Nova, you go to UMN?

i thought SMU's good standing refers to anything equals or below 30,000/year? I remember from SMU thread that even a 35k/year (close to 75% of tuition) requires top 1/3 not to mention full ride

Denver is 3.0 (roughly top 50%). One semester of probation allowed. Once lost, cannot be reinstated.

BU is good academic standing.

Updated. Thanks everyone.

Yeah. Cool. My family is also from MN.

Midwest is the best

Midwest is best.

Loyola and Depaul : Good academic standing

Dean's Scholarship at Alabama is 2.5 GPA.

GW is good academic standing. UCLA is at least a 2.5 GPA, which I think translates to good academic standing.

Houston is 2.9 (roughly top 70%)

Texas is "good academic standing".

This is a fantastic thread, thanks Nova.

Thanks, everyone. Updated.
