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

<p>Nope, I haven't seen data for gpa by major at either of these schools. I have seen it for other elites, and it tracks as indicated, with science and engineering lower. I think that is useful, since we picked UCB and Stanford as illustrations of elite public and elite private institutions, not because there is anything uniquely interesting about these two places.</p>

<p>The SAT/grade prediction relationship is the reason so many colleges use it as part of the admissions process.</p>
