The difference in gpa for Latin Honors is only about 0.15 points, so that can be used as a rough indicator for GPA averages as a whole, since Latin Honors is determined by constant percentages of the graduating classes.

The last time I investigated this was when my son was a graduating senior. Here is how the gpa breakdown went:

For engineering as a whole, the average GPA required for the Latin Honors is lower than for any other college at UCLA. That indicates harsher grading in all of the engineering majors.

The minimum GPA requirements for the 2006-07 academic year were as follows:

School of the Arts and Architecture: 3.924 for summa cum laude, 3.862 for magna cum laude, 3.777 for cum laude

College of Letters and Science: 3.862 for summa cum laude, 3.769 for magna cum laude, 3.638 for cum laude

School of Nursing: 3.862 for summa cum laude, 3.769 for magna cum laude, 3.638 for cum laude

Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science: 3.834 for summa cum laude, 3.728 for magna cum laude, 3.575 for cum laude.

School of Theater, Film, and Television: 3.907 for summa cum laude, 3.857 for magna cum laude, 3.753 for cum laude
