Does anyone know what top 1/4 is at UVA?

I know that in the old days, they used to list 3.48 on the transcripts. Since the grade change however, it appears that top 1/4 after three semesters is 3.58. That said, I remember reading about how at Cornell (which uses a similar grading mechanism) grades tend to peak after the third semester and drop a little by graduation. My (purely speculative) guess, is that top 1/4 is around 3.53-55, but I would appreciate it if anyone could substantiate it.
As an aside, I understand why UVA doesn't release class rank, but it doesn't make sense that they don't release relative percentiles, as this would be helpful when applying to judges who directly ask "where does this put you in your class."
Thoughts?
