What is the avg. GPA of an accepted Bio major at competitive schools?

Transfer Students

<p>We all know that different majors are assessed differently in terms of GPA when transferring. For instance, competitive poli sci majors have GPAs in the range of 3.6-3.9. I am wondering what the avg accepted GPA range is for bio majors to competitive schools like USC, UCLA, etc.? I would think the range would be something like 3.4-3.6, but I could be wrong. Any insight?</p>

<p>i think that biology is more competative, perhaps b/w 3.7 to 3.9</p>

<p>wow, that seems a bit high for a bio major. I know bio is generally viewed as a harder program, so I would think that the avg GPA would be a little lower. I dont know any bio major with a 3.9.</p>

<p>i cant say for sure, almost all my friends who attend ucla are bio majors and they all had over 3.7 gpa.</p>

<p>I don’t know, but I am a “undeclared” bio major (but I wrote down biology major in my the box for my applications) with a GPA of 3.85. I got accepted to Wash U, Tufts, and College of William and Mary. (I’m still waiting to hear from CALS at Cornell.)</p>
