<p>I don’t really know how accurate that graph is. I have seen that article myself, but taking the average accounts for many many majors that certain schools might not have an thus be unfair. Public schools tend to have more engineering programs, which are more difficult to have a higher GPA than other majors, comparing a technical school to an LAC for example. Where technical schools are typically publicly funded and LACs are typically private funded.</p>
<p>I just don’t see the point in comparing GPAs in general. GPAs vary from school to school based on grading standards and cutoffs. i.e. at my state school a B+ is a 3.5 and there are no A-s, while at my own college (an many others) a B+ is a 3.3 and an A- is a 3.7. GPA is really meaningless once you hit a certain point and there are no universal “good” GPAs. I think the point is just to try your best and most importantly learn - which is a point in college that I feel that sorely been taken away.</p>
