<p>I think I would trust the official graduate school site with Engineering 2.7 and Cornell site akbear posted with university average 3.18 instead of guesses.</p>
<p>I saw the median grade lists when my D was enrolling the first semester while my family were in Ithaca. There were whole bunch of B-'s in Engineering classes. Besides, even if one is mostly above median in some classes, slip with other classes could still kill the cummulated GPA’s, that’s why my D is constantly in an unsure status even when she was on Dean’s list (3.5). And I heard an engineer is going into JP Morgan with 3.2, I assume recruiters knew engineering GPA since they’ve seen a lot.</p>
