<p>I got into Columbia with a 3.7GPA from a community college. This is a very, very good school (one of the top 2-year schools in the country) and it does not curve at all. I had an 89.5 in one class (the prof had a remarkably odd grading system) and she would not round up to an A no matter how much I pestered her, I mean, politely I asked.</p>
