I’m not entirely sure, but I think they just set the median at a certain point (3.1-3 at Foster) and then they have to “fit” the whole class in this bell curve. So a half will get below the median and a half above it.

It sucks because if the class is doing great overall, they still have to fit everybody into this bell curve and that’s how you end up with a 3.4 for 94.5%.

In terms of preparation - don’t worry. If you did fine in your CC you will do fine at the UW. Just work hard and that’s it.

Another big change for me has been that we have to work on group projects quite often. I think it’s great because you get to know people and it’s also fun. But I’m not sure if every department is like this.
