<p>At the EECS career fair today, I couldn't help noticing that every other resum</p>
<p>damn, 3.8X at least? That’s depressing.
I know 3.94+ is top 3%, depending on which engineering major. But does anyone know what GPA it takes to graduate with “high honors”? My gpa takes a nose dive over the last 2 semesters…sucks.</p>
<p>The CoE doesn’t seem to publish the cutoffs. However, others do:</p>
<p>[Natural</a> Resources](<a href=“Nature Research Lab - Recovery Mode”>Nature Research Lab - Recovery Mode): 3.877, 3.750, 3.577
[Letters</a> & Science](<a href=“http://ls.berkeley.edu/?q=undergraduate/honors-program]Letters”>http://ls.berkeley.edu/?q=undergraduate/honors-program): 3.919, 3.799, 3.669</p>
<p>I really can’t imagine the CoE’s numbers being higher than L&S’s…or are the cutoffs higher at the high end? Also, I’m pretty sure that you compete with students in your entire college, not just those within your major.</p>
<p>How many students are majoring in EECS? Judging from yesterday’s probably biased sample, I’d have guessed that the top 3% cutoff was at least a 3.98. But that obviously can’t be the case.</p>
<p>As for high honors, here’s a [url=<a href=“http://www.devbistro.com/resumes/jhjwoo]3.79[/url”>http://www.devbistro.com/resumes/jhjwoo]3.79[/url</a>] in 2006. A [url=<a href=“uni.cc”>Loading...]3.72[/url</a>] from 2001 didn’t make it. I’m not sure I want to know what the exact cutoffs are because once I do, I tend to miss them. (It’s like every time I aim for an A-, I get a B+ kind of thing.)</p>
