It varies depending on the unviersity. Most university websites will offer some type of range. For example, the mean average range for Harvard applicants is between 1400 and 1580 (almost a perfect score). However, the average for Arizona State University (which also has some excellent and nationally ranked colleges) is between 990 and 1230. The national average was recalibrated in the late 1990's to again be 1000 (500 for verbal and 500 for math), with a perfect score being 1600. The College Board, who writes the SAT I and subject tests, provides a site where you can look up the averages for your school of choice. Below is a link to that site: http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1094&profileId=6 On a more personal note, I went to one of the most competitive private high schools in the country (the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy) and I saw FAR too many of my friends and classmates have meltdowns because of these tests. Colleges these days look at so much more than just your SAT I scores. I wouldn't devote too much of my time to perfecting my scores on these tests. That doesn't mean don't study, but I think the research has shown that you can only bring your score up so much with intense preparation--it kind of planes off. After all, it's supposed to be a test that measures innate reasoning and represent your cumulative thirteen years of primary and high school education. In fact, I got a 1470 on it, and, at the time, I thought I was doomed, as I was applying to Ivy League schools and thought it wouldn't make me "stand out" enough. Your time would be much better spent making your college applications attractive in other ways--e.g. writing a good resume of your activities, honors and awards, perfecting your essays, working on recommendation letters with teachers, participating in new things to put on your resume, and even taking some other exams that colleges will accept to either make you stand out more or even for class credit (in my opinion, the credit is the most valuable). These exams include SAT II subject tests (I was good at writing, which isn't tested on the SAT I, and I took that subject test and I got a PERFECT SCORE--think about sending that to a college!), CLEP tests, and AP tests. I ended up with a FULL SCHOLARSHIP, and I didn't have a perfect SAT score. Just work on showing what your strengths are, because that is what schools really want to know. By the way, I now work for a Universty as a senior staff member, so I can say this with some certainty.
You do not need any specific GPA. Perfect grades are not as important as selecting the most difficult courses that your school offers, provided that you can excel in them. That said, nearly all admitted students [approx. 98%] fall within the top 10% of their high school graduating classes. The bottom line: there is not magic number or formula; Harvard considers the whole package.
I would say:
3.0 or better is good
3.3 or better is really good
3.5 or better is exceptional

Most schools follow this scale:
Regular:
4.0 = A
3.7 = A-
3.3 = B+
3.0 = B
2.7 = B-
2.3 = C+
2.0 = C
1.7 = C-
1.3 = D+
1.0 = D
0.7 = D-
0.0 = F
Honors:
5.0 = A
4.7 = A-
4.3 = B+
4.0 = B
3.7 = B-
3.3 = C+
3.0 = C
2.7 = C-
2.3 = D+
2.0 = D
1.7 = D-
1.0/0.0 (some schools are different, still confers no credit/unit) = F
I Believe It Really Is In 1 Class It Is low It`s Bad So I'm Gonna Have to Go With An a
better than b really i got it this year and it`s messed up I'm Not Happy So I wish to
change that grade on monday if you can change it then do what`s best.
Honestly, it depends what your major is. If youre a freshman, a 2.5 is considered average..since your just getting settled in and all that stuff. If youre in a challenging major, a 2.5 isn't bad. If youre looking to do something after college, grad school, medical school, etc, then a 2.5 is a problem. Graduate programs almost always want a 3.0, and medical schools want a 3.3 and higher. If you are just getting a diploma, chances are your employer wont pay much attention to your gpa.
Weighted GPA is a way to allow some classes to count more. For example, AP classes in some high school may have a weighted grade. So normally an A would contribute 4 points to a GPA, but in a weighted system, that A you got in AP calculus counts as 5 points not 4.
So it becomes possible to have greater than a 4.0 average, whereas, in a non-weighted one max is 4.0
The GPA requirement for general admissions is not typically indicated, and is just one part of the total admissions selection (of course the higher the better). They are really attempting to look at the whole person. That being said, there are some specific programs of study that do require a minimum GPA score, but it differs from one program to another.
The average G.P.A at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University from my nowlege is a 2.7.
It is not a bad idea to go to college with a 2.203 GPA. In fact, many colleges allow admission with a minimum 2.0 GPA and good SAT or ACT scores. Community college is another great option for two years, which will allow you to transfer to a top university with a good GPA and grades.
Yes if you are in AP course or IB courses and receive all As in addition to having As in all other classes.
You need at least a 3.0 to get into Ferris
You Most likely do not need a GPA. Ferris will let anyone in as long as you have not raped or murdered anyone. Even if you have they will still consider it. Just spell your name right on the application or at least close to right and you will be fine.
It is common for schools to grade using a 4.0 grade point scale. This means that if you have a 3.7 GPA, you probably get mostly A's and an occasional B.
Probably not. Admission to UW-Madison has gotten extremely competitive over the past 5 years or so.. The average ACT of this Fall's freshman class is about a 28...you are clearly below that average... I would suggest you take the ACT/SAT again and try to get at least a 28.. Or perhaps you should consider some other not so competitive schools...
Yes it is great but it wl be better a 4 because I got this and one of a teacher said it is great but u can try your best more!👍
2.29 is considered medocire in terms of gpa's. It likely won't get you admissions to any worth-wild college (Havard, Standford, Oxford, Yale, Princeton, ect...) unless you get at least a 4.0 on your LSAT's.
There is no minimum GPA required for ivy leagues universities. It is unlikely for someone with a GPA of below 3.6 to have a good chance of getting. It also depends on whether you'd be an incoming freshman, or transfer. Freshman in general are required to have a much higher minimum GPA than transfer students. For instance, someone applying to Cornell as a freshman with a 3.8 GPA might get rejected, while a transfer student with a 3.69 mike be admitted. Regardless, anything below 3.6 is just not really Ivy League material.
The Director of Admissions, Louis Hirsch has announced today that UD has received a
record amount of applications for FALL 2008, the applications received on the 25th of
February (2008) exceeded those of the last year by 1300, last years applicants being
23,268. Not only that but the amount of non-state residents has risen, 22.000
applicants where as LAST year the number was 8,460! While In-state applicants will
not be affected by these trends as long as they meet academic requirements those
out of state face the dilemma of 'supply and demand' where normally 46-48% of them
will be allowed admission. Your grade average expected to be nothing even the
slightest under a "B" although credentials such as recommendations, special talents,
leadership traits will be considered but do not bank only this and find yourself
disappointed later in the admissions process as they do seek students that graduate
in the upper half of their class.
whats schools in atlanat ga will accept you with a 2.0 gpa/

About a 3.67! (Multiply 5.5 x 4.0 then divide by 6.0 and you get 3.666666667 which is about 3.67).
