<p>I would like to know what is the average undergraduate GPA for UCSB engineering students</p>
<p>i’d like to know that too, i’ve heard the overall ayerage is around B- but that might have remembered it wrong</p>
<p>Average undergraduate GPA is nowhere useful considering the fact that almost every course in most universities will curve the classes’ grades or set up a grading system such that the average GPA will fall around 3.0.</p>
<p>about 1.0 gpa points below your high school gpa</p>
<p>in case this might be useful: [Undergraduate</a> Honors at Graduation, Office of the Registrar](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucsb.edu/hon-grad.htm]Undergraduate”>Undergraduate Honors at Graduation - UCSB Office of the Registrar)
it doesn’t tell you about the average GPA but at least u can see that the top 20% get about 3.50 and above</p>
<p>I’m a UCSB engineer (computer engineering). I have a 3.5, and I’m in the top bracket. To advance from the pre-major to the major, you need to maintain I believe a 3.0 in the major classes. Some engineers are struggling to do that. But I don’t know the average GPA. If I had to guess, I’d say somewhere around 3.1 or 3.2.</p>
<p>Remember, undergraduate GPA is all relative. How “good” a GPA is depends on what classes you took and what program you were in. A 3.50 engineering GPA is usually seen as more impressive than a 3.85 communications GPA, for example.</p>
<p>Here’s an article I wrote about UCSB’s engineering, if you’re interested: <a href=“http://gauchoinsider.com/articles/16[/url]”>http://gauchoinsider.com/articles/16</a></p>
<p>I know this thread is kind of old, but I stumbled across this PDF after reading the featured thread on grade inflation:
[2008-2009</a> Campus Profile, dated Feb. 2009](<a href=“http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/08-09/cp2008.pdf]2008-2009”>http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/08-09/cp2008.pdf)
</p>
<p>There’s a bit more information (divided by class standing) on page 3 of the PDF.</p>
<p>This is a nice find. :)</p>
