so my current unweighted/weighed GPA is 3.76, is that bad? Should I be worried?
What would you be worried about?
I’m honestly not sure what a “decent” GPA is…all I know is that a 3.9-4.0 UW is really great
That’s like asking “do these jeans make me look fat?”
It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
No
Well, that question is too open-ended and cannot be answered in a vacuum. It’s all about how it fits in context. It depends, in part, on where the GPA places you rank-wise. It also depends on what colleges you are targeting, which is a bit early to think about as a freshman, and also unanswerable without SAT/ACT scores.
Well, in my limited experience, I’m not sure that question should be answered in any way other than rephrasing it back in such a way so that it cannot be answered “yes” or “no.” e.g. “How do you feel about those jeans?” Hmmm, I guess that’s what I did with the OP’s question as well.
thank you guys so much! I was honestly not sure but thanks for the insight!
A 3.76 is an amazing GPA. There are so many schools you can get into with that kind of GPA. No question about that whatsoever. 3.76 GPA puts you on the honor roll, if your school has one, so considering you’d be on the honor roll is a plus. Now, it’d be a different story if you got like a 2.5. If you got a 2.5, then you’d really need to work hard. Considering you have a 3.76 GPA, where do you plan on going to college that makes you think it’s so bad? Are you thinking a state university or Ivy Leagues or what?
She’s 14 or 15 years old.
I would suspect that the “almost at the end of freshman year” GPA will change-- maybe significantly, maybe not-- over the next 2 or so years as she continues her education.
@simberry2 Definitely not Ivy League. I was thinking more state flagship schools or along the lines of that. I’m a US Citizen but I don’t live in the states.
In which case, you and your parent(s) also need to discuss budget. Depending upon the state, you may not qualify for in-state tuition, and FA is generally (with some exceptions) meager for OOS applicants.
