So what is the average Engineer GPA anyways?

<p>Well, here are nationwide statistics that reveal the general differences between GPAs of graduating Liberal Arts, STEM, and Social Science students.</p>

<p>Here is Ave GPA over time at Public vs. Private: [recenttrendsindschools2.gif</a> (image)](<a href=“recenttrendsindschools2.gif]recenttrendsindschools2.gif (image)”>recenttrendsindschools2.gif (image))</p>

<p>Here is Ave GPA per area of study: Figure 3, page 4 <a href=“http://www.gradeinflation.com/tcr2010grading.pdf[/url]”>http://www.gradeinflation.com/tcr2010grading.pdf&lt;/a&gt; This chart indicates that a 3.0 student in Engineering would, on average, be a:</p>

<ul>
<li>3.15 in Natural Sciences</li>
<li>3.2 in Social Sciences</li>
<li>3.3 in Liberal Arts</li>
</ul>

<p>As I mentioned above, I don’t know if these data account for the presence of “weed-out” classes in both Natural Sciences and Engineering, as opposed to the lack thereof in Social Sciences and Liberal Arts, which would widen the deltas.</p>
