I am looking at the matriculate data for most COMs and I found out almost (if not all) of their entering classes have higher cGPA than sGPA.
On the national level, the average accepted sGPA is 3.39 and cGPA is 3.51. That leads to a much higher average non-science GPA of 3.60.
This trend is consistent even in MD schools, but the gap is much smaller. I did some quick search on some cali MDs.
UCSF cGPA 3.77, sGPA 3.75
UCI cGPA 3.71 sGPA 3.69
UCSD cGPA 3.74 sGPA 3.71
Does anyone know, why applicants on average have lower sGPA than cGPA?
