I ended up leaving engineering and that school, but my sorority sisters who were engineers graduated with around a 2.8 most of the time - which generally put them in the top quarter of their engineering class. Do you have an advisor in the program? Maybe you could go talk to them about what the average GPA for the college of engineering is.

Thanks for the advice. Our chapter of SWE is getting more organized by the minute right now, so I am starting to get more involved. I just wish they had been doing more when I was a freshman. But that's nothing that I can change now. I do have an advisor, and I am fortunate that she is one of the few female faculty members in our department. So she definitely knows what I'm going through. I think I'm going to have to put in a few more hours talking to her and the members of the SWE chapter. Also, the national NSBE conference falls during my spring break this year, so I will be attending that. Maybe I'll post back in the future to let you guys know how everything is going. And thanks again for all the advice.
