So what is the average Engineer GPA anyways?

That grading is normal in science/engineering. A B- is about average. We don’t have engineering, but the harder science courses curve to about a B-, and some curve between a C+/B- to about a 2.5-2.6ish. Whether at a public or private school, engineering and science GPA is lower. The engineering/science GPA at Georgia Tech is about 2.7 also. They probably only have a grad. GPA just over 3.0 b/c of the management school and those in the liberal arts, that skew it up a bit. The same phenomenon occurs at most schools, including selective ones.

That site is insightful. Seems as if natural and hard sciences are grading tougher than engineering (actually, I thought that this was always the trend).
