<p>What would you guys say is a good gpa to have in college? I finished my first
semester with a 3.55 and I dont know how to interpret that. In high school
this would have sucked and even though it still sucks I dont know what it
is relative to everybody else.</p>
<p>relative to everybody else:
[UVa</a> - Undergraduate Grade Point Averages](<a href=“http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_gpa.htm]UVa”>http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_gpa.htm)
you’re dean’s list, which is a good 40% of the university ( [UVa</a> - Students on the Dean’s Lists](<a href=“http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_deans_list.htm]UVa”>http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_deans_list.htm) )</p>
<p>intermediate honors is ~3.7 ( [All</a> About Your Academic Record: University Registrar at the University of Virginia](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/about.html#honors]All”>http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/about.html#honors) has more about this and other honors).</p>
<p>An A+ is calculated same as an A, correct?</p>
<p>yes, sadly. there are some schools (maybe the law school?) that count it as a 4.3.</p>
