<strong>Subject:</strong><br />how much does house avg. gpa actually matter?<br /><br /> Poster Message:
People like to walk around with big heads because their house has a great GPA, so I decided to calculate statistically how big the distribution is and if the spread is big enough to be statistically significant. The Data: 1-SDT 3.582 2-GPB 3.5264 3-AOPi 3.5101 4-ADPi 3.5094 5-XO 3.5058 6-DDD 3.4826 7-AEPhi 3.4809 8-Sigma Alpha 3.479 9-AGD 3.4787 10-KAT 3.475 11-KD 3.4728 12- Alpha Phi 3.4676 13- AXDI 3.4611 14-KKG 3.4362 15-4H 3.4351 16-DZ 3.4257 17-PBP 3.4228 18-DG 3.4157 19- AXO 3.3594 20. PhiSS 3.2521 We then weighted each house with the number of active members to find the mean of the population: 3.4454. The standard deviation was 0.1224. What does this mean? This means that the spread of the data is very very small, the only houses more than one standard deviation away from the mean are SDT and PSS. With such a small spread of data, this means that we really aren't all that different and that you aren't statistically significantly better than any of the other houses. As a Engineering/History Major with a Business Minor, I have a lower GPA than all of the houses above and am a James Scholar with many internship prospects. To all those people who think intelligence is directly correlated to GPA, think again. Each major is different, each college inflates(or deflates) grades differently. Some students don't test well but are brilliant. GPA doesnt define you. TL;DR House GPA Doesnt Matter
