This might sound like a ridiculous question, but do any schools have "minimum" GPAs required to "stay" in a Bachelor's program?

I know that some majors have GPA requirements to get into their programs, and remember some people having to put off their official "declaration" by one or two semesters until they reached the minimum.

Carnegie Mellon puts freshmen on academic probation if they fall below a 1.75 for their first 2 semesters. Sophs-Srs have a 2.0 cutoff.

I really like what MIT does. http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/...ass_no_record/

That's very interesting.

We have "freshman forgiveness" which allows you to retake anything you fail and replace it on your transcript with the better grade (and recalculate your GPA). You have until you reach 30 credits to use it.

So if you get an F in Psych 101, and you retake and get an A, the F is erased from your transcript/GPA calculations and replaced with the A.
