Is a B+ Average something to be proud of in your first Semester at College?

Dual Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. 3.6 is not mediocre, and only a stuck up prick talks down to people like that.

Uh, Computer Science isn't engineering. Just because some Colleges have it in their engineering departments dosen't make it an engineering degree. Chemical and Bio-molecular Engineering is often in the Chemistry ( Natural Science ) department.

Looks like you agree with this..

Is Computer Science Engineering?

All I said is that it wasn't spectacular. I never said it was mediocre in general terms.

However, in terms of your reference to med school, it might just be mediocre.

You really come off like a friendly person in this one

For the record, even the low end of getting into med school is a lot higher than the average person's gpa, that's the reference I was making. Anyone who is able to get into med school is doing damn good for themselves.

Ofcourse this will vary from school to school, but I looked up the numbers for my university. The average grade for all courses completed between Fall 2008 and Spring 2011 is about 3.3. A 3.6 would be above average at my university.

I couldn't find median grade however, which may be more telling.
