3.0 GPA is that sufficient??

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)

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. :D

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?

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.

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