Which is better: a 3.0 at HYPS or a 4.0 at a state school?

<p>I'll look into it when I have more time, and as shocked as you are, I bet many have my view, or have no real proof (aka haven't read the reports) when thinking about a correlation between SAT I scores and GPA.</p>

<p>In your response to bern you do mention that science and engineering courses tend to give out lower grades, which is true, but does the trend really matter here, or rather what the science and engineering courses at the two particular schools in question do, as well as the the social science and humanities courses? It's quite possible that Stanford's grades in these coures are lower than Berkeley, but do you have that data, as I think it's more significant than the national trend.</p>
