What is considered a higher end GPA for an engineer?

Question

I'm going to be a sophomore at the U of Arizona with a GPA of 3.58 majoring in Optical Sciences & Engineering. My first semester didn't go ideal since I racked up more B's than I needed because of borderline A's going into finals. Anyways, I calculated that I need 11 units of A's to go up to a 3.70. That is my next goal and after that I'm going to gradually increase since at this point it is somewhat easy to raise my GPA higher.

Answer 1

Somewhere above 3.50 or 3.60 you'll probably get a "c um laude". I'd say a GPA that can get you a Latin honor is "higher end".

Edit: Haha, Yahoo censored the Latin word for "with". How lame.
