<p>Does anyone know what the approximate median GPA is at UVA for the college? I know if anything they have grade deflation. What does it take in terms of GPA to graduate with some type of honors assuming other requirements are met (like thesis etc)?</p>
<p>Many years ago, I went to law school at Duke when it had a 2.7 median and the teachers graded on a strict bell curve so that for every 4.0 there was a 1.4. To give you an idea re the GPA there, frosh year my 3.25 was good enough to grade onto the Duke Law Journal. About 15 years ago Duke woke up to the fact that this grading policy was hurting its applicants going for top jobs/clerkships and changed it so that everyones’ gpa went up 4/10’s of a point.</p>
