It makes it easier to get into some colleges, but that is about it. After all, a diploma is a diploma and a degree is a degree.\n\nQ: What do the call the person who graduated last in his class from Harvard Medical School?\nA: Doctor.

I would probably drop the class if the best I could hope for was a C and I needed a B average to transfer with.  Of course, if you already have a gpa that is significantly above 3.0 you might be able to handle the C without it affecting your gpa too much.  Whether you can manage a 95% on the final might well depend on how difficult the class is..and I would venture to say that if you are struggling with it now..the chances are that you won't manage the 95%.  Look at it this way, the best you can possibly hope to achieve is a C in this class...and it is likely that you won't get it.  I assume that this is not the only class you are taking so therefore you will have other finals to worry about too. Studying for this course enough to get the C might well impact your other courses too.\n\nWill the C hurt you more than just dropping the class...that would specifically depend on what your gpa is now..as i said before if it is well above 3.0 it should not have much of an effect, but if it is right at 3.0 or below, then a C certainly will have a negative impact on it....you would require a B to retain a 3.0 gpa and an A to bring it up..\n\nSo theoretically speaking..your best chances probably lie with dropping the course...

Don't worry about the past.  Just keep taking courses to raise your GPA.  Mine was about a 2.5 when I graduated; I went back later and took my pre-reqs and some grad courses and now I'm starting med school this fall (in the US, by the way!). Don't listen to people who are just jealous.

i would suggest going to a community college first to raise your GPA, plus you will save some money because some Universities will allow you transfer credits.

For large corporations, they will look at GPA. I know 2 HR recruiters who admit they look for 3.0 or higher. The reason they do that is because most college grads have very little work experience. Grades are the easiest determinant of achievement and self-discipline. Since you are very near 3.0, I think you'll be fine. However, if you are aiming for a large firm, like Fortune 500, you can leave out the GPA from your resume. If it's important to them, they will ask you verbally. However, if you interview well and have other relevant experience, that will usually top out. If GPA does get brought up, tell it to them. But this is the part where you need to be very observant. If the interviewer doesn't have a satisfied look on his/her face, you may have to add that you "had some difficult circumstances in Freshman year." If he/she looks fine, then don't say anything more.\n\nI wouldn't worry too much about GPA. If it comes up, then it does. Since this is your final semester, you need to concentrate on mock interviews, resumes, and company research. Good Luck!

Getting into a good school and then actually getting good grades.  There are some students who just "get it" and are able to write like they want you to, then there are people like me, whose GPA would make an excellent ERA if I were a major league pitcher.

Not too many. Does it really matter outside college? Don't really think so.  Even the 3.9 GPA students loose their minds with the brain dump.  After all the studying and strict attendance they want a break.  We have hired many college grads that just are not mature enough for real work.  I find the most sucess with just average GPA's that want to work. They seem to do the most for us.

3.6 GPA is great! The highest you can have 4.0. College is scary at first for everyone. Remember when you went from elementary school to high school? That was scary but you did it. It's the same idea. College is awesome, it's normal to feel nervous at first, but it won't last long. Good luck!

Well, I graduated with a 3.6 with my undergraduate and a 4.0 in my graduate degree. You have to study, read, DO YOUR WORK!, participate in class and develop  good repour with your teachers.\n\nWell...to answer your question, mmy freshman grades weren't the best...well they were more like a 2.5. But once you are in school awhile you get the hang of things and by your junior and senior year you will be pulling a higher GPA. No one goes into college and gets good grades off the bat! I rememeber my freshman teacher giving me an "F" on an essay and asking where I learned how to write. Hang in there, and don't be so hard on yourself. College is a whole new world and there is a lot to get adjusted to. \nOh and I graduated with a double history and education major for my BA and Literacy Specialist B-12 for my graduate degree.

yes its possible ! an above 75% of the Indian system is considered as 3.0+ GPA which is rated very high, thats A+ according to grading system. 85% +relates to 3.5 +GPA and of course 100% is 4.0!

If you are wondering what to make it about, I suggest that you create a goal to acheive a 3.66 GPA or something having to do with grades. To create a poster about this you could draw a report card and put all As, a couple A-s, and maybe one B+. Then in the corner put your GPA (being above 3.66). You could make a before and after poster instead.

A 4.0 means you have all A's.  At most schools you can't even get an A- to get a 4.0.  However, it's not something you should worry all that much about.  Do the best you can, but don't make your grade point your life.  If you take challenging classes and get respectable grades, and are also a well-balanced person, that's really more important than "perfection".

well it depends on how smart you are\nan A is worth 4 points\na B is worth 3 \na C is worth 2\nA D is worth 1\nand a F is 0\nif you add up all the #'s above for your grades and devide them by the # of classes you have then you get your GPA. \nAlso if your in Honnors classes you get an extra point for each grade\nEX. An a would = 5 instead of 4 and so on
