<p>That GPA range seems to be the norm for average GPAs in engineering programs. But you have to consider the extremes because there are students with GPAs far below and far above the average. Sometimes the trend is that your GPA will go up as you progress through school. This isn’t always the case but many upperclassman courses may be heavily graded on design and projects, things most students tend to do well on as opposed to exams which may be meant to ruin a student’s grade. I’ve had professors who weren’t happy unless the exam mean was in the 70-75 range. That was at a different school. Right now my exams aren’t curved so they tend to be a little easier.</p>
