[quote=Anonymous]I was in the engineering honors program at a top 25 school and the curve killed my GPA and passion for engineering. Professors would make exams impossibly hard and the averages were typically in the 30's (yes, 30% out of a possible 100%). The average grade was then set as a 2.7 and everybody was curved based on that. Being on the lower end of the honors cohort meant that my GPA sucked, when in any other situation I'd be top 1%. My GPA is not at all indicative of my level of knowledge. It just shows that I did worse than the other super talented students. I should've gone somewhere with dumber students and easier curves.
