I have a 3.6 (UW) - I don't think it's low at all (which this thread seems to be implying). Honestly, IMO it all depends on your course rigor. However, CC seems to have an overabundance of 3.8+ which is absolutely incredible if your school is hard to do well in, like mine is. 3.6 or so is still top 10% here.

I'll post where I get in once I actually do

So far I'm in the RU Honors program though.

Congrats neethus. I wasn't implying that a 3.6 is low (that is my goal gpa by the end of the year), but it's like you said. There is an insane amount of people on here with even higher GPAs, that I was curious about the people with other GPAs. It's similar to the <2300 thread that I saw. a 2200 is still awesome, and really anything 2000+ is considered very good.

"Emp: You got into Tulane and Binghamton with a 3.3?!?!?!"
Bing is A LOT easier to get in from OOS (i'm from Florida.)
As for Tulane, umm? My letters of rec are good, I have tons and tons of leadership, and am a very good writer=good essays.

level 4/5 (3.42)

Miami EA my best acceptance so far

SaveTheManatees · 02-09-2009, 11:54 PM

My GPA is barely 3.7 weighted.

I got into U of Rochester. I think the average GPA there is quite a bit higher, but I did ED, am URM and have good SATs so I guess it isn't terribly out of the ordinary.
