I'm very surprised to see such a harsh GPA requirement. The engineering world used to hold themselves to such a high standard when it came to recruiting but has drastically altered that. When I was a freshman (F02), one just about always needed a 3.0/4.0 to find an internship. Now many companies have dropped that to 2.75/4.0. It's not all about the classroom, it's about how you can prove yourself. Too many times by holding to such a strict GPA requirement, the only applicants turn out to be book nerds that don't have a damn clue how to drill a hole or use a screwdriver, but yet are "engineers." To be quite honest, if a recruiter told me I had to have a 4.0/4.0 I wouldn't even waste my time with them. To me that shows irresponsibility on behalf of that given company's management.
