G.P.A's?


Question Posted Thursday April 16 2009, 1:34 pm

Okay now I pretty much screwed up my G.P.A last year. So its a C average. My goal is to graduate with at least a 3.0. Is a 3.0 a good G.P.A??

Usually anything above 3.0 is considered good GPA, and anything from 3.7 to 4.0 is considered excellent.

But instead of 3.0, you might want strive for 3.8 and above. The higher your GPA is, the easier it is for you to get an academic scholarship, which will help you out a lot during your college years.

And if you don't have enough time to build up your GPA again, then try to score really high on the ACT and SAT tests. High scores on those tests open up new doors to full-right scholarships as well. And it's not that hard because most likely you can take your ACT tests during your summer vacation. Plenty of time to study! =)

It depends on where you want to go to college. Some schools have a grade cutoff, and the more prestigious the school, the higher the cutoff grade. Most good schools look for grades above a B average. A 3.0 is a B, so if you think a B is a good grade for where you want to go, then sure, a 3.0 is good.
