<p>I've been told 3.7+ is good, 3.5+ and even 3.25+. What do you guys think is a relatively impressive GPA for jobs?</p>
<p>Depends. What’s your major?</p>
<p>The vast majority of jobs don’t care/won’t know your GPA so it’s pretty irrelevant. </p>
<p>There are some exceptions so I 2nd post #2.</p>
<p>It really depends on your major. Someone in physics/mathematics/engineering etc isn’t too likely to pull of a 4.0 or even a 3.7+ in the long run. That’s not to say that it can’t be done, because it certainly can’t. I’m in my second year as a physics major and still hanging on to my 4.0. I rather doubt that will last through my whole undergrad though.</p>
<p>There are a lot of majors that are a lot easier though.</p>
<p>A good GPA is one that will not hold you back. So not only major dependant, but person dependant.</p>
<p>It seems I’ve heard people say that a good gpa in college is a 3.5 or higher.<br>
Of course that could be harder to obtain for engineering majors, etc.</p>
<p>also depends what school you’re at yo</p>
<p>Most jobs (ie., not investment banking) will look more seriously at the internships you have had, and what you learned from them, than at your transcript. As long as you have a respectable GPA of 3.0 or so, it’s not going to be critical. My oldest son graduated from college with a 3.9+, and got his dream job right out of college; my youngest son graduated college with about a 3.1 (totally tanked two semesters for two different reasons) and also got his dream job right out of college. Both had worked hard at excellent internships.</p>
<p>In general, I’d recommend having at least above a 3.0. I would also say that in general anything above a 3.5 is a good GPA, and anything above a 3.7 is a really good GPA.</p>
<p>For jobs, though, work experience in your field is going to matter much more than your GPA. Someone with a 3.0 who has had great relevant work experience will probably beat out someone with a 3.9 who has no significant work experience.</p>
