<p>I got a 3.14 for my first semester. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how this is. I took 16 credits, and I got a B in Single Variable Calc, B in Intro to archaeology (86.6, 1 point from a b+) B in world history 1500-present (86.2, .3 from b+) B+ in Spanish 2, and B+ in Justice and the Legal System. Just wondering if anyone could tell me how this is for my first semester, I was a bit disappointed with how I did, but I hope to bring it up a lot next semester if I can.</p>
<p>Your GPA reflects your grades. B is a 3.0 ; B+ is a 3.3 …so based on your GPA you are student who averages between a B and B+ … How good is a 3.14? Nobody can answer this except for yourself. If you came to college just wanting to pass and be slightly average or above average, than a 3.14 is good. If you planned on going to law school where good law schools, including GW’s, have an avg GPA for its acceptance applicants of a 3.75 or more, than a 3.14 is not good. Usually, freshmen year is the lowest GPA for most students. Just never drop below a 3.0, because that is awful.</p>
<p>I’m surpised your GPA/Grades are posted at this time - finals are not even completed? Are you “guestimating”?</p>

<p>CJ Madison, finals do not have to be completely done by all students for GPAs to be posted. My complete GPA has been up for a few days now</p>
<p>Thanks - I’ll let my “S” know to check. Where do you do this? Is it on GWEB or Blackboard?</p>
<p>GWEB is the only place that has your GPA</p>
<p>Well I honestly am looking to eventually get into law school, how will I have to do to get to a competitive level? I feel that I will do better next semester, but I don’t know if I can get to a 3.75…</p>
<p>either apply to less prestigious law schools, or do very well on you lsats</p>
<p>3.0:</p>
<p>For just getting a degree: Good</p>
<p>For getting into average, lowly ranked grad school programs: Good</p>
<p>For getting into top grad school or law school programs: Fair to Weak</p>
<p>For transferring: Fair</p>
