[quote=Anonymous]One really ought to take a school at its word when it says “conditional upon X GPA”. OP is correct that GPAs in Engineering often are curved to a lower number (3.0 as median in E School is pretty common) than in the arts & humanities. Go read the recent thread on Engineering Degrees. Even the very smart and well prepared students have to work very hard in virtually any E School. Further, outside maybe the top 10 national E Schools, like MIT/ CalTech/ Stanford, which Engineering college one attended is not as critical to jobs and careers as it might be in other disciplines.
