Hey,<\/p>\n

I was just wondering if the average graduation GPA distribution was available for us students to look at. If so where could I find it.<\/p>\n

I’m looking for something like<\/p>\n

95% percentile = X.XX GPA<\/p>\n

90% percentile = X.XX GPA<\/p>\n

and so on, Or something of similar format.<\/p>\n

(If divided by major it would be great)<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

at the very least, if something like this exists, it’s not available for students to look at<\/a>.<\/p>\n

more than that though, i doubt if uoft even collects this information privately within departments.* the university doesn’t sort students based on how they rank relative to other students (the closest thing we have to that is the dean’s list<\/a>), and it’s not used as a tool to measure students in any substantial way i can think of. there’s just not a culture here for it.<\/p>\n

for someone trying to figure out where on the grade scale they’ll likely fall in a certain program, i see how that might be annoying. but look at it on the flip side: once you’re in the program, you’ll never be reduced to just a percentile.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n

aska<\/p>\n

* i mean, obviously i can’t know this for certain. there could be whole CONSPIRACIES<\/a> going on within academic departments at uoft that we have NO IDEA about. but i wouldn’t give that idea too much thought – this website is written in like verdana or something, after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
