<p>Is there a resource to find what the cutoff GPA is (approximately) for the top 10% of Cornell engineering seniors?</p>
<p>I've heard the average is around 3.3 for graduating seniors...not sure how accurate this is, though. </p>
<p>If current undergraduates in engineering or recent graduates know this information that would be great as well.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>DEFINITELY not that low. Most freshman have a GPA of around a 2.9-3.0, but by senior year, classes are curved a little higher and they start taking liberal studies classes (free A’s). I would anticipate that the top 10% of seniors have around a 3.7-3.8 GPA.</p>
<p>I don’t know the answer to your question, but in case any prefrosh are reading this thread, the average freshmen engineering is closer to a 2.7, not a 3.0.</p>
<p>That’s COMPLETELY false. How could the average be 2.7 when the lowest median grade of a class is a B- (math 1910 and 1920 (?) and physics)? Many other freshman classes have medians of at least a B (FWS, CS, chem 2090, ENGRI). This isn’t even factoring in the free A’s that project teams hand out to their members.</p>
<p>Basic math tells me you are wrong.</p>
<p>Median and average are different, but I presume radishes meant median and not average as I’m not sure how one could obtain a unbiased sample average GPA for freshmen engineers…</p>
