Statisitically it is possible.  The problem you have is that you probably have some bad study (or party) habits.  You had better get focused...'cuz those IE class are not going to be easy...

I would say that 3.0 (about a B-) is average. Admissions aren't just looking at GPA though. They want to see what types of classes you are taking...AP, honors, etc. Also, be sure to apply as early as you can...they have rolling admissions (this means they might run out of room...even if you are a qualified student). I know someone who was president of her class, had a 3.2 GPA, decent SATs and did not get into UConn because they had no more room! She had to transfer in after a semester at Southern CT. Good Luck!

depends on what uni you are aming for... a 3.2 is ok but a 3.5 for top universities :D

NO!! I went to a community college for two years. I never really did anything except show up for tests. I left with a 3.4 GPA. But now i've transfered to Indiana University and because of the bad habits i developed at my community college I am kind of struggling. I felt alot more prepared out of high school for a major university than i do now. \nAlso if you do plan on transferring to a four year school make sure your credits will transfer. All but 2 of my classes transferred, but every school is different. \nBut besides all that community college is great. They have small classes and the people are alot more helpful and friendly. Good luck!

A - 4 points\nB - 3 points\nC - 2 points\nD - 1 point\n\nAdd the number of points you have and divide by the number of classes. That's the GPA. (4.0 is highest, unless the classes are weighted)\n\n90%-100% - A\n80%-89% - B\n70%-79% - C\n60%-69% - D\n50%-59% - F

depending on the school you went to,the GPA is not bad. Georgia Tech students with 2.5 still get jobs and still get scholarships and I know repeating a course is common for them

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.

it may be hard to get your first job with a low GPA but once you get in somewhere even if it is not your dream job or best pay you stay at least two years and get some experience then look for work again you should be fine.  \nI know people in HR and they do look at GPA if you are fresh out of college for all positions they hire.  What your professor said may be true about IT if aonther IT person is doing the hiring but they usually aren't even part of the proscess.

I learned a lot of things in my classes, some of which are not applicable to my occupation.  But there is more to learning in college than what you get in your classes.  Many of the lessons you learn, such as how to be away from home, can't be measured in your GPA.\n\nSpeaking of GPA's, I will say that it's good to get teh best possible grades that you can, but you should also strike the appropriate balance between formal education and your personal development skills.  I knew many people with 4.0 GPA's, but they were greatly lacking in social skills, for example.

GPA = grade point average   for ex: a 3.0 gpa would be a B avg\nA=4.0

Going strictly by the numbers, overall GPA counts but also the GPA in the last year or two.  If it is above the overall average that will help.  We understand that it often takes a year to get on track and grades may suffer a little.  Also, the last year or two is focused on the meat of the degree.  If you demonstrate competence in those courses, it is a positive.  It's assumed that graduate courses will be more focused in the degree discipline and less so on general education requirements where your GPA may have been lower.

Leave it blank.  If they are interested, they'll call you back and you can explain that you have a 2.94 - almost a 3.0, and only because you took difficult classes (or some other legit reason).  If they don't call back, they probably wouldn't call even if you had the 3.0

1) use your own calculation based on your grades/exams and mention how you calculated it in your application\n\nOR \n\n2) just mention in your application that GPA is not issued in your system of education.

Wow!  That is amazing!  And here I though GPA's only went as high as 4.0.

It can hardly be true. BUT, it depends the system of your school. Normally, the system for GPA = sum of point of the grade (say A=4.0)x no. of credits of the course/ total credits. So, in you take much more credits next semester than last semester, then you can help your poor GPA of last semester. Besides, some schools have different weightings on different semesters. Let's say freshmen yr is 100%, sophomore counts for 120%, junior 150% etc (just a rough idea). This system is based on the ideas that the level of difficulty gradually increase so the grades at higher level should be taken more consideration.

3.00, most of the students I met that tried to go into engineering had at least a 2.50 GPA and it was good enough for them...

Looks like you will be repeating freshman year. I doubt you could raise your grades to even a D average. You're in high school now; grow up and take some respobsibilty.
