what is the average gpa?

 

[eddie269]

probably because their applicants are strong in other areas. ? or maybe others with higher GPA's rather choose a better location for school?

AVG GPA: 3.1-3.4.
AVG AGE of entering class: 24

You think 3.4 is low? really? sounds like my kind of school. I thought you were going to say something like 2.7 or in the 2's. Where is is "UOP"? University of..?

MALA: UOP is the University of the Pacific in the city of Stockton north of California

 

[rxforlife2004]

I think UOP prefers well grounded students who already had BS/BA degree .Thus, majority of people with good GPA ( like above 3.6, 3.7) who applied to UOP are either at sophomore/ junior level or still at local community college.

i knew UOP was at 3.1 a few years ago but I didn't know it was still so "low". I would think all schools avg gpa have been rising.

and UOP is in a ghetto, small, really boring town of Stockton.

Thanks Kiki- I was thinking it was Pittsburgh - I was way off geographically.

 

[riskhk]

the current first year's avg gpa was a 3.4. Dr. Flo gave a presentation during the beginning of the year.

Dang six years ago.
A simple look at their website indicates 3.3-3.4.

Is that 3.4 cumulative or science?
Cuz I've got a cumulative gpa higher than that buy q sci gpa a bit lower than 3.4

Isn't UOP the school that cares more about your pre-req GPA than your cGPA?

 

[delano2000]

The last time I checked it was a 3.5

Aren't threads like a fine wine; they get better with age?

They are more like fruit. After a week of inactivity they rot.

Maybe they are more like a fad; popular in their time and worth revisiting later for nostalgia.
