[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.8+ in engineering is so f'king hard[/quote]

and yet well over 25% of Duke (Pratt) grads have that gpa...varies on the school...[/quote]

Easy grading [/quote]

Idk how true the Duke stat but it is important for premeds to understand the basic medians and curves when they are evaluating schools. DS ivy has a ton of premed BME and a very high med school acceptance rate. The average gpa in engineering at graduation is above 3.6ish, and this ivy is one of the three "deflated" ivies. Cs are quite rare at elites these days. The students work very hard and it is rigorous, yet the curves are much better than similar schools 30 yrs ago[/quote]

I think that is true every where or at least many places. UVA engineering is supposedly 3.6 average, compared to the college of arts and sciences which is 3.7 per sources linked on reddit. William and Mary does not have engineering but they have inflation too these days. Gpa matters a lot for medical school it is smart to look into it, though med admissions people likely use gpa in context of the undergrad. Most have a tier system that plays a part, and most premed “letters” give metrics on the average gpa and mcat from the school [/quote]
