Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good GPA?
Generally, 3.0 or above is considered good. Above 3.5 is very good, and above 3.7 is excellent. For competitive scholarships, 3.5+ is usually required.
How do credits affect GPA?
Courses with more credits have more weight in the average. An A in a 4-credit course impacts more than an A in a 2-credit course.
Can I recover from a low GPA?
Yes! Your cumulative GPA becomes harder to change over time, but consistently high grades can improve it gradually. Focus on courses with more credits for greater impact.
