2/7 Where can I find information on how my GPA stacks up to the rest
of EECS?
\_ ask tjb
\_ These figures are approximate, but should at least be correct to
within +/-0.1:
75 percentile: 3.55
50 percentile: 3.15
25 percentile: 2.7
This URL may also give some semi-usable numbers:

\_ all I can see is that CS students do well in CS classes
and that EE students do well in EE classes, and that
transfer students have slightly lower grades. Nothing
new there. -hilfinger hater
\_ It also shows that L&S CS students get better grades than
EECS ones in the same classes. But I think that's
because EECS curriculum is tougher. -- L&S alum
\_ I can't believe they gave out so many A+s, As and A-s. I thought
my GPA looked good, but now I think GPA is just inflated.
\_ Grade inflation? At Cal? Oh Gosh! No! It would never
happen that Cal would grade inflate to keep up with the
sickening levels of inflation at the Ivys. Oh no, not our
dearly beloved Cal which has been doing everything possible to
water down the value of a Cal diploma for the last few
decades. GO BEAR!
\_ I didn't notice any grade inflation at Cal in the
early 1990s. This must be recent, along with the
ability to drop classes right up until the final.
(Is that ugly rumor really true?) --dim
|_ I agree with dim
\_ moi aussi
\_ I don't remember seeing so many people get A- and above in the
CS and EE classes back when I was in school (89-93).
\_ I second that, but has anyone thought that it's possible
that the courses just get easier? |
