When considering which college to attend, how high a college GPA is acceptable to maintain a needed (for affordability) scholarship or enter the desired major?
For example, if two colleges are under consideration, but one needs a 3.5 GPA to maintain affordability with a scholarship and/or enter the desired major, while the other one just requires the student to remain in good academic standing (typically something like 2.0 GPA and C or higher grades in courses for the major) to maintain affordability and enter (or avoid dismissal from) the desired major, how big a factor will that be when choosing between the two colleges? What about other GPA levels that may be required by scholarships or departments to maintain affordability or enter the desired major (e.g. 2.5, 3.0, etc.)?
