Average GPA

<p>Do you know what the average GPA of Swarthmore students is? Could you put down a source?</p>

<p>3.24 in 1997 according to this source:
[Swarthmore</a> College GPA Trends](<a href=“http://www.gradeinflation.com/swarthmore.html]Swarthmore”>http://www.gradeinflation.com/swarthmore.html)
My guess is it is around 3.3 today, but I don’t have a source handy.</p>

<p>I’ve heard through the grapevine that it is now in the high 3.4 range. That said, I heard it from someone who heard it from someone who claims to be told by a faculty member positioned to know. So information could be lost.</p>

<p>FYI, back in my day, the top law schools added .3 to a Swarthmore GPA to level the playing field with grade inflation infested schools like HYP.</p>
