[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What GPA is generally top 20% at Big 3 (no weighting, no A+, etc)? 3.8+?[/quote]

It depends on the year.   Usually like 3.85+.  In recent Covid years it's been has high as 3.89 or 3.9.  This is a big3. [/quote]

20% above 3.85?

Interesting. [/quote]

How would you even know that???? There is no way you can know every single kids gpa in the class unless you are the nosiest busy body. GPA's are not listed anywhere so unless you and your child are literally asking every single kid and keeping track then there is no way you can know. [/quote]

PP here - my response is to the poster above claiming to know what the GPA is to be in the top 20 percent[/quote]

Several of the schools have cum laude and the cut-off for this always becomes public knowledge.  
Yes, it doesn't include freshman year but it's a fairly decent approximate of top 20%.  [/quote]

The GPA cut off is not public knowledge or listed anywhere to normal parents. You clearly are the exception in what you know about students at your school. It is quite inappropriate. [/quote]

Listen.  My kid knew it--they figure out it.  I'm sorry that your child is on the outs of the social chatter. The kids talk about it because they think it's cool that kids can do so well.  It's really odd that you are this offended by this.  [/quote]

Oh yeah, super cool to have a kid on the “in” who runs home to tell Mommy what other kid’s grades are. But nice effort on trying to make it seem like kids who aren’t nosing around about other’s grades are on the “outs” socially.
