<p>So I know the average graduating GPA is about 3.3. But, I've heard that the GPA's start off low freshman/sophomore year and then vastly increase junior/senior year. I saw my GPA just now with half of my credits in and it's about 2.9. Let's just say I'm slightly worried. </p>
<p>Upperclassmen: What is the average freshman GPA? I don't need a cited answer or anything. Just from what you remember, what was typical?</p>
<p>something like 2.7 is typical at the end of freshman year. sophomore year is harder but average gpa seems to rise a tad to 2.8 or so due to a bit of specializations.</p>
<p>Is that GPA only looking at freshman 2nd semester grades? since first are F/P/HP</p>
<p>Seiken you are correct, it is only second semester. </p>
<p>Rocket, that makes me feel A LOT better. I figured out which classes haven't been reported yet and I expect my GPA to be about 3.0. I'd feel good about a 3.0... crazy.</p>
<p>For a freshman a 3.0 is quite something - it's enough for Dean's List, which says something. To get Dean's List, or even come this close, is quite an accomplishment at Mudd.</p>
<p>I just looked it up and the Dean's List is a 3.0, right? What percentage of freshmen get on the Dean's List?</p>
