GPA Median v. Mean

Post by umichman » Sat Feb 07, 2015 7:02 pm

So i know what the GPA Mean is here, would you guys expect the median to be higher or lower than the mean? they don't tell us the median unfortunatley.

Completely depends on the school. The fact that they're even using mean is at least evidence of them trying to confuse people. They probably chose it because it was lower than the median, so 70% of students can claim are above average.
