<p>Admission</a> Statistics</p>
<p>the link to carnegie mellon's admission statistics says that the average gpa for tepper is 3.66. Is that for admitted students or the entire applicant pool?</p>
<p>if its the latter, then does anyone know what the average stats of the admitted student is?</p>
<p>thanks for the help in advanced</p>
<p>It's admitted students.</p>
<p>oh wow 3.66 for admitted students? i always thought tepper was really really competitive. is it because the gpa is recalculated by the admission officers to include just academic core classes or what??</p>
<p>3.66/4.0 is not a low average GPA. Did you think it was weighted?</p>
<p>no i thought it was unweighted (and possibly didnt include freshman grades either?? not sure)</p>
<p>but isnt a 3.66/4.0 the same thing as a 91.5/100?</p>
<p>if so, yeah i think its a low average GPA for tepper because i thought was really competitive with a very low 14% admission rate</p>
<p>sorry for the double post, but does anyone else know anything about why the gpa for admitted students to tepper seems so low?</p>
<p>Not all schools have grade inflation. And that's presumably an unweighted grade. Note that the mean rank is 4%.</p>
<p>hmm unfortunately my school doesnt rank...
but thanks the rank is a lot more telling of the quality of admitted students than the gpa</p>
<p>Even if your school doesn't officially rank, it's likely that your GC will give some indication of an approximate rank in their recommendation.</p>
<p>don't just look at the GPA.look at the rank for teeper admits./highest among all the schools at CMU</p>
<p>I believe rank is like average 4% or something, that is a lot of valedictorians-esque as well as top 10%. I don't believe CMU takes into account stuff like gym classes or whatnot and it is definitely not weighted. With the rank and SAT scores, the 13% acceptance rate is representative of the difficulty of admission.</p>
