What do you consider a good GPA?

My first semester of college ended today, I was left with a 3.78. I think I'm pretty content with it but I'm a little disappointed I couldn't get it quite where I wanted it. I'd say a good cutoff would be a 3.8 or so, but that's just my opinion.

The only reason I'm a bit upset was because I was really close--had I gottan 4 more questions right on my nutrition exam this morning I'd be at a 3.89.

What do you think is a good GPA for high school, college or whatever?

EDIT: Since so many have asked, I'm a biology major. The reason I bring this up is because I hope to attend med school after graduation. So GPA is a big deal, unfortunately.

Above 3.5 is a solid GPA depending on what your major is.

Above a 3.0.

3.2 or higher is usually what school requires. It doesn't matter how your GPA is because it rarely matters in real world.magicalclick

Most internships and scholarships don't even consider less than 3.0 GPA candidates.cd_rom

We had the CEO from Monster come to our college freshman year and he really stressed how important getting a 3.0 was. He pretty much said what you posted, that they won't even look at your application unless it's at least 3.0. So going by that I say anything above a 3.0 is good

6 anything less is disgusting

Obviously a GPA below 1.0 is GREAT. :P

Depends on your major. For Computer Science at my school anything above a 2.5 is great. The major is mostly about resume building and employers know that. Plus the school is overhauling their engineering and compsci department and testing the difficulty of classes.

If you're a business major or a pseudoscience major having >3.0 is fine.

God, I love that.

3.79 is pretty much the minimum for being a good person.

3.0 and above.

2.5 and above.

I'd say a 3.3. That's the average to get into colleges in my area.

For me personally, I consider anything above a 3.0 good.

uh, Whats a GPA...? I'm English...DeX2010

High School - Anything above a 3.5 (with the hardest classes)

College - Anything above a 3.5 LOL

Pre-med/ law school - The highest you can possibly get.

Depends entirely on the difficulty of the school you attend. But you should definitely shoot for a 3.0 minimum regardless of your major or where you go to school.
