<p>This is just a curiosity thing, for any of the engineers here...is it true that the engineering school has class rank? (I dont think ArtSci has it). Just curious about grade distribution....</p>
<p>BME here. I’m pretty sure this is false. Or if it is true, it is news to me. I’ve never seen it anywhere (including webstac etc).</p>
<p>It’s true, actually. I don’t know if it has any meaning, but engineers are in fact ranked.</p>
<p>Go to Webstac and, under Unofficial Transcript, do a ctrl + F for “engineering rank,” without the quotations.</p>
<p>I dont have it but thats because I just transferred from artsci this semester, I think</p>
<p>3.3 is known to be about the median for engineering class rank (although it typically increases after 1st and 2nd years)</p>
<p>It’s listed as an honor, along with dean’s list and others. Its out of 332 right now, but I don’t think it’s calculated until after the semester ends.</p>
<p>It’s calculated when they calculate dean’s list about 4-6 weeks after the end of the semester. It’s a comparison to all of the other engineers that have expected graduation year the same as yours.</p>
<p>I have been corrected. I guess rank does exist. I don’t believe it makes any difference (ie. med/grad schools care about gpa, not rank), but it is there. 74/277 here :)</p>
<p>Any idea what a ~3.75 would be? haha, I know I’ll find out eventually, but I’m curious…</p>
<p>About 20 people had a 4.0 after 1st semester, I would say 3.75 puts you ~80th, though thats a rough estimate at best.</p>
<p>That was a damn good guess, Pat. I had a 3.76 and that’s just about 80%.</p>
<p>Oh, high-five for being up past 2 AM.</p>
<p>I have a 3.74. See my rank above…</p>
