Yes I’m familiar with that. Thankfully they do not break it out by major. Lots of kids shift towards cushier ones because of how brutal the more technicals are. I’m not interested in trying any more than I have to convince to folks who have made up their minds in advance and have no information on the school, although that’s an understandable stat to reference and won’t fault you for it.

It’s also in the school’s interests to dispel any notion of deflation and make those of us who mention it seem disgruntled. Just do a little online homework and you will see lots of testimony. Feel free to compare that to other schools. Or just read this post!

You did say there was grade inflation ‘across the board’, which does not seem to be the case based on the data. I don’t need any more than the data to inform my decision.

With a current 3.5 mean and median GPA, how low could one of the ‘technical’ major mean/median GPAs be, assuming a ‘cushier one’ is closer to 4.0?
