<p>If a high GPA is all you want, then stay away from Virginia Tech. It is not a program that simply gives out high grades. However, a graduate from VT with a GPA in the low to mid 3’s is a very solid engineer who knows their stuff. I think this is similar to what boneh3ead is trying to tell you - don’t pick an engineering school based on potential GPA. If you are capable of getting high grades, you will do that almost anywhere.</p>
