GPA Distribution

<p>Just wondering if anyone knew..</p>

<p>Like some figures (or if not, guesses) as to what percent of students get a 3.5+, etc.</p>

<p>PBK says up to 7 percent of student body, does anyone know the cutoff?</p>

<p>How about the top 15%?</p>

<p>Percent that graduates cum laude, magna, summa?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Because PBK began at W&M they are a bit secretive about how a student becomes eligible for induction. It’s part of the allure of being a member of the alpha chapter of the organization and to be inducted takes more than a certain GPA.</p>

<p>As for your question about GPA distribution, we will do some research and get back to you. Keep in mind of course that GPA distribution will likely vary a bit from class to class.</p>

<p>You may want to visit this site: [William</a> & Mary - Grades](<a href=“http://www.wm.edu/offices/registrar/studentrecords/grades/index.php]William”>http://www.wm.edu/offices/registrar/studentrecords/grades/index.php) Scroll down to the bottom and that might be the info you’re looking for.</p>

<p>Our University Registrar provided us some additional data: </p>

<p>10.9% graduated Summa Cum Laude
11.7% graduated Magna Cum Laude
14.3% graduate Cum Laude
36.9% graduate with a 3.5 or better</p>

<p>The top 15% gpa cut off was 3.753</p>

<p>Hope this is helpful.</p>
