<p>I’m not a genius. Then again I’m not an engineer or physics major (though I have taken a couple semesters), so its all relative.</p>
<p>i would guess the average for lsa to be about 3.3-3.4 and engineering to be 2.9-3.1 (i don’t think this is as low as you guys think, upper level engineering classes are all curved pretty nicely) to be honest, a lot of our grade estimates, has to do with your circle of friends at michigan. I for some reason tend to befriend the higher gpa achievers, and at the time when i was in school, i felt like i was the only person who had a below 3.4 gpa in engineering. later on, realized that engineering cum laude was 3.2.</p>

<p>I’ve been busy lately and APs are coming soon, and I’d like 5s on all of them, so I’ll be taking a break from PROMYS for a few weeks I’ll come back to it May 11th-ish after my last AP, giving me a few more weeks to wrap up the problems and ship them off to Boston U. It’ll also give me a fresh new look on the problems, so maybe I can think about them in different ways and maybe I can even work in some “alternate” solutions.</p>
<p>BlackPen, just because 52% of students applying have above a 3.9, doesnt mean the average is 3.9. For example, if the last 48% had 3.0’s the average would be 3.4 or 3.5. Thats why standard deviation is important. :P</p>
<p>QwertyKey is right, I mistaken the question for high school GPA.</p>
<p>unfortunately they only give us the median and we don’t know how much the data is skewed to the left.</p>
