For my class, a GPA of 3.5 will put you at 50th percentile, GPA of 3.2 put you in bottom 10% and the person ranked last in our class has a 3.0. I don’t know what GPA we need to be in top 10 but I think pretty close to 4.0. How about your school? Please share!
 
Same bro! That’s dental school if your dental school is ranked.
A bunch of inflated grades. Gotta try to take it one semester at a time and then draw the line at the very end.
 
Top 10 in my grad class had above a 3.9. The middle 2/3 of the class had like a 3.6 or so.

But for what it's worth, unless you're specializing, GPA is irrelevant. I interviewed at like 15-20 offices in my last semester at school and no one asked about my gpa or class rank. TBH, I never even checked my class rank.
 
I don’t plan to specialize right now but I still try to keep my options opened. Tbh, I thought I had a pretty decent GPA (same as what I had in undergrad, and that GPA got me accepted to several top d-schools) until I found out that more than half of my class has the same or higher GPA. Pretty disappointed.
