[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Freshman DC feels they are likely "average" in their class. Expecting a B+ ish grade in most courses. Big drop from GPA DC was used to HS -- but not surprising as the student body in college (Ivy) is generally high quality and competitive. Question for this group: Does this type fo GPA hold you back from strong job opportunities?[/quote]

not from an ivy, does not matter at all. B+ or B is the average in most STEM classes, A- or even A the median in most humanities. after first semester avg gpa is around 3.5. tends to go up some as they adjust plus curves are skewed easier as they go into harder classes, so most students have a higher GPA their last 4 semesters than their first. all part of the plan to make everyone have a favorable trrend.
overal average GPA is 3.75-3.8 at most ivies, and premeds with 3.6 or even 3.5 and 515+ MCATs get in to decently good med school from ivies. they are well respected and everyone understands that the peer group is super competitive. experience in research and internships matter more for grad/prof/career placement.
