<p>What are the average GPAs or graduating Computer Science majors at the following colleges?</p>
<p>University of Washington - Seattle
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
University of California - Berkeley, San Diego and Los Angeles
University of Southern California
University of Maryland - College Park
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
Carnegie-Mellon University</p>
<p>I'm considering also fulfilling pre-med requirements and as any prospective medical student knows, GPA is very important. I also know that different colleges have different standards of grading which varies even more within departments. I want a college where the grading standards are extremely high but not extremely low so that I can also take pre-med courses.</p>
<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DUniversity”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) says that for the entering frosh class of 2003 (graduating up to 2009), the average GPAs at graduation for CS majors (at graduation) were:</p>
<p>Berkeley: 3.28
Los Angeles: 3.14
San Diego: 3.28</p>
<p>But note that differences in selectivity, students leaving the major or school (“weeded out”), etc. can make these GPAs not strictly comparable. Also, most CS majors do not take pre-med courses.</p>
<p>The pre-med-heavy biological science majors (at graduation) had average GPAs of:</p>
<p>Berkeley: 3.37
Los Angeles: 3.29
San Diego: 3.22</p>
<p>Ouch. As I’ve read. It really is true that a majority of pre-med undergraduates don’t even make it to medical school. </p>
<p>In your opinion, what GPAs (all other factors aside) make a computer science major attractive to big company recruiters. </p>
<p>Also, the only reason I’m considering majoring in Computer Science and taking pre-med requirements is because I’m still very unsure which field to go into.</p>
