Is a 3.1 a good gpa for college ?

Question

Answer

Are you talking about a gpa to get into college, or a college gpa? If it’s to get into college, I’d say you’re fine and you’ll definitely get into a good state school at least (my idiot brother got into the university of New Mexico with like a 2 because they liked his other materials) but for college I’d say it depends what you want to do afterwards. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also! If you have high test scores in standardized tests, it can offset a lower GPA in college / grad school applications.  And if you feel like it’s too low, maybe consider re-taking some of the classes you got the lowest scores on. That can REALLY bump up your numbers. When I was a sophomore I accidentally screwed up the process of dropping a class and ended up getting an F because I didn’t know I was registered. It dropped my gpa from like a 3.8 to a 2.8 overnight! I retook the class, got a good grade and my GPA went up again. Bottom line, GOA isn’t everything and it will really depend on what you need it for and other areas of your applications/experiences.

Answer

Depends what you’re planning to do after getting your degree and how competitive the field is. I graduated as a mechanical engineer with about the same gpa and had no issues finding a job that pays $65k starting salary. The more competitive your career field or graduate program you’re going into the higher it needs to be. In general though only really your first job or grad school are going to care about your gpa. After that it’s all about experience.

Answer

Depends on what you consider “good”. Are you planning on going to grad school?

Answer

depends on whether you have grade requirements, how competitive your degree is, etc. it's a B average, which is pretty good. my bf graduated from undergrad with a 3.3 in computer science from a top school, whereas my major is considered less hard since we don't actively weed out students like his major often does, plus my scholarship requires a 3.5+. your gpa honestly doesn't matter in most cases. internships that ask for your gpa are not internships you want to apply to, and you can find a decent employer for full-time.
