[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure would be nice to get a card for my younger one, but at least they finally published the Dean's List so everyone can see my older one. [/quote]

Everyone? No one’s looking. And like half the class is in the dean’s list.[/quote]

WM is much more grade inflated than it used to be! Below 3.65 is below average[/quote]

UVA is about 3.6.

Have to keep up with the inflation at Harvard and Brown.[/quote]

Wow! 50th percentile was a 3.2 a couple decades ago. Good to know. [/quote]

The latest data available is 2023 greek v nongreek v overall tables, UVA has 3.65 median for arts and sciences, William and Mary is very similar. 
 Harvard and Brown are 3.9 medians from 2024-5. UVa could be 3.7 now, though is likely below all ivies including less-inflated Cornell/Princeton/Penn.

For those of us who see applications for summer internships in stem, it is rare to see GPA below 3.5 and common to see them above 3.85, from all schools inclusive of flagships, regionals, top and mediocre privates. The courses on the transcript often become the differentiator, or the reputation of the undergraduate school or program. 3.9X with a bunch of psychology, stats, and a W for Chemistry is never going to be selected over all the other 3.7+ that have taken more rigorous courses with no withdrawals. The "W" grade is a post-covid trend that needs to end. W is all over transcripts these days. William and Mary has recently trimmed it back, to their great credit, just as there is pullback on inflation in process at top schools.
