3.0 GPA is that sufficient??

[Dpantherman]

idk as far as what if you were thinking about asking, just in general. I started off after my first semester with a 3.4. after a couple of Cs and 1 D, i dropped. I've been able to stay at or above 3.0 so far. Things get shaky at times, but I'm hanging on. What do you guys think? (im in college btw)

[Jase]

depends on your major and future career I would say.

Information systems and operations management

I think I ended up with a 3.2 and I've done pretty well...

[Razzy]

Depends on your major/career like Jase said. For example, I was previous doing Aeronautical Science/Mechanical engineering, and any engineering it's recommended to keep a 3.4+. Anything less than a 3.0 and jobs will become harder to find. I had a 2.3 (math kills) which is why I changed to pre-vet Animal Science.

Best thing to do would be to set up a meeting with your counselor or advisor.

2.84 here, and look how awesome I turned out!

j/k... I think I was high 3.something

GPA will only matter as far as getting accepted to a school and getting the money to pay for it... Even then, the latter offsets the former, and when it boils down to it, money talks...

If I were you, I'd keep it as high as possible if you are looking to get into somewhere like Duke or UNC, but if it is a XXX State or a smaller university, you'll be fine even with a mid 2.something...

EDIT! Wait.. I thought you were in high school?

i graduated high school w/ a 4.0, but i still went to a small school. didn't want to go to a big campus

This is the way I always looked at it... my wife kept a 3.9 GPA all thru undergrad... she studied her ass off, read and re-read all the text books, had no free time and was constantly worried about it.

I paid attention in class, took notes and did my assignments on time, but rarely studied outside of that, and ended up with a 3.2 and I enjoyed my college experience a LOT more than she did.

I finished with honors and a 3.9 GPA. I now make less than $13 an hour. You tell me.

If you're talking grad school, not so much.

How old are you now and what field are you in?

[Happy Panther]

I graduated last in my class and i am stinking rich now

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Grad school is for yuppies...

Sufficient for what?
