<p>I’ll requote myself from that old thread:</p>
<p>The average GPA of graduating senior classes usually hovers around 3.25, or a B. This shows that there is neither rampant deflation nor inflation at Tufts. This may, of course, vary from department to department (i.e. harder in engineering/hard sciences, than, say, art history), but on the whole, I’d stand by the assertion that Tufts grades rather fairly.</p>
<p>Source of this number?: A friend who worked in Student Services rattled it off to me one day – it sounded right given my experiential knowledge of my own and others’ grades, but it could very well be totally off.</p>
<p>That being said, let’s say 3.25 is the right number – the average (grade-wise, GPA overall) Tufts student. With a higher GPA in your major, great recommendations, some good internships/research experience/jobs, etc. you’re still a good candidate for great grad/professional programs.</p>
<p>The better-than-avg Tufts student is likely to have excellent chances at the best grad/professional programs.</p>
