a question for all engineers who recently graduated w/ a B.S.

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>What were your cumulative g.p.a. after the four long years?</p>

2

<p>woah, good question! (listens)</p>

3

<p>I have a 3.49 currently (4th year) and I'm predicting a 3.55-3.60 upon graduation.</p>

4

<p>wow, Mr. Payne.</p>

<p>mine will probably be the same, except w/ a 2 in front of the .45 or .5
after 4 yrs.</p>

5

<p>How common is it to graduate with a 3.8 to 4.0? (I know a few engineers who have that and always thought it was pretty impressive, but maybe it is more common than I thought).</p>

<p>Don't be fooled by what you read on CC. Getting a 3.8 to 4.0 in engineering (or any major) is very difficult. CC can give a skewed perception for two main reasons.</p>

<p>1) MOST people who are willing to put their grades and GPA on a public forum have very good grades and GPA.</p>

<p>2) SOME people lie about their grades and GPA on a public forum.</p>

7

<p>3.5</p>

<p>Another thing you should take into consideration is the sample population. People on CC are more likely to care about how well they're doing than the average joe.</p>

8

<p>right now,my chemE gpa is a 3.25....hopefully go to a 3.4 after thermo finals</p>

9

<p>3.8-4.0 gpa is VERY GOOD! I have 3.5 and am shooting to graduate with 3.7 next year. I'll be very happy even if it is just an A- average.</p>
