<p>I am currently a sophomore at the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and I was wondering what everyone's GPA was. I had a 91 average in high school, but I have struggled a little. My GPA is 2.8, but people tell me that my GPA is good. Should I panic? I have heard that a 2.5 GPA is average. Is this true? Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>My GPA... lol. Because I had 2 disaster years in college (including having 2 semesters of a GPA below 1.5), my overall GPA is about 2.4. Major GPA (Comp Sci) is 3.1-ish.</p>
<p>Weren't you on probabtion for a 1.5 GPA? What went wrong in those two years? That's good that you kept you Major GPA in the B range.</p>
<p>I was in a major that really didn't suit me, plus there were some personal circumstances going on in my sophomore year.
I was on probation last year - if I'd failed anything I was out, but I pulled a decent major GPA and got a good grade in the 2 non-major classes I took so it's not <em>so</em> bad... I'm a 5th year senior now though who'll be coming back for a 6th year.</p>
<p>A 2.8 GPA is not good and it depends on what school you go to for the average GPA. At UTEP a 2.5 sounds about right for the average.</p>
<p>I guess your gpa and it's "goodness" depends on what you want to do after college. If this is your terminal degree, a 2.8 is just fine, but if you want to go on to grad school or anything else academic, you should really try to pull it up. Right now I have a 3.91 (Econ major), but I'm pre-law so gpa is insanely important for me.</p>
<p>To the person who said 2.5 is an avergae at UTEP. Why did you say 2.8 is not a good GPA, but say 2.5 is the average at UTEP? What are you trying to imply?</p>
<p>At my school the average Senior graduating GPA is 2.8 and the average freshman GPA is 2.4...</p>
<p>2.9, trying to get it above 3.0</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore</p>
<p>Right now I'm at a 2.7 (only based off of freshmen midterms, and with chem, which I'm planning to withdraw from). Hopefully a lot will change by the time I graduate.</p>
<p>I've got a 3.8 based off of my freshman midterms.</p>
<p>Let's just say I'm beginning to realize how wonderful pass/fail is.</p>
<p>The grade report online at my school made an obvious mistake, and I don't know if there are more mistakes so I don't know what my gpa is. :(</p>
<p>Oh, come on. 2.8 is perfectly fine. You have a B- average. Nothing to be ashamed about. If you want to go to grad school, you might want to get above a 3.0. Beyond that, you're doing perfectly fine.</p>
<p>I've got a 3.7 after a year of college.</p>
<p>graduated with a 3.49, luckily once you're in med school they dont' calculate a GPA</p>
<p>BTW I got a 3.17 as my midterm grade report. Not too shabby. Dean's list at least :)</p>
<p>A 2.8 is a B- average. I thought that was a C plus average?</p>
<p>The scale at my school is:
4.0-A
3.7-A-
3.3-B+
3.0-B
2.7-B-
2.3-C+
2.0-C
1.7-C-
and so on...</p>

<p>I'm trying to imply that being average/around average is not good. I never said a 2.8 or even a 2.5 is bad, i just said it wasn't good. I guess my standards are just set above yours?</p>
<p>Maybe UTEP is a tough school to pull good grades at. Maybe the professors practice grade deflation... now there's a concept, or possibility none the less.</p>
<p>I have a 3.83 GPA and am a senior. If I can push it above a 3.85, I can graduate with Summa Cum Laude recognition. :) However, that's not something I'm overly concerned about. I want to learn the subject matter more than impress somebody with grades, which I've found the two don't always coincide (read: I learn more by making mistakes than by getting it right every time).</p>
