Whoever said 3.7 is not right The system works like this If you are a man, you gotta work very hard, so keep your GPA over 3.9 to be safe. Ofcourse this varies from time to time , so three semesters gpa more than 3.9. Second if you are a female, there's quota or some kind of advantage than the boys. The third is staff privileges, if you have a parent working at AAU any campus, you can get into any program you want regardless of your results. The fourth one is a lucky gamble, it's lottery. The AAIT algorithm takes some students regardless of their GPA but according to their preferences. Hope this helps. But let me tell you if you don't work hard, pre- engineering is gonna bust you
