<p>311griff: you hid it right on the nose. Having a 3.8 average doesn't mean your're smarter than someone who has a 2.8 average. A 3.8 average doesn't guarantee you a job; you still have to work as hard as someone who has a 2.8 average.</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone's replies.</p>
<p>"Average" GPA varies widely from college to college, and major to major. It's pretty unhelpful to compare on a forum like this.</p>
<p>311griff is totally right .</p>
<p>3.33 or 3.31 I'm not entirely sure.
I think I calculated out a 3.57 major GPA awhile ago.</p>
<p>I'm requesting an official transcript soon, so I should know in the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p>2.601, but a 3.50 in my major.</p>
<p>Awesome.</p>
<p>Looking like a 2.3...we also have a lot of proud member of the 'square root' club here :)</p>
<p>I had a 3.46 cummulative after the end of my freshman year (I'm currently 1st sem sophomore) but this semester is kicking my A S S so hard, and looking like this semester's GPA is gonna be about a 2.75. (Chemistry can bite me.) However, my cummulative will still be around a 3.1. which is good cause I have to keep a 3.0 for my scholarships. I've only taken 2 courses in my major and am taking the 3rd one now. I got B's in both the other two and I'm probably going to have a B in this one also, so that's a 3.0 major GPA.</p>
<p>If you're in a tough major, a 2.8 is OK. It's above national averages. I heard for jobs/grad school/etc they look for above a 3.0--but, if you have a job or participate in activities, then it will show on your resume where your time went. Employeers also may look at you school's average GPA--if it's below national average, a 2.8 may not be bad at all. And, you have time to get it up. There are some schools with a lot of grade inflation, and others that just don't.</p>
<p>I have a 3.4 and expect it to drop a bit after this horrid semester. (junior, aeropsace engineering) I need to keep a 2.75 for scholarships. I worry every semester about it, and so far I haven't gone below 3.0 at all. Thank goodness for curves.</p>
<p>I know it varies by position at a company, too.</p>
<p>For example, one of the big 4 accounting firms has a 3.0 gpa requirement for certain listing on their career sources site, and a 3.3 gpa for others.</p>
<p>I'm sending out my letter to receive a copy of my official transcript...If I remember off the top of my head, at the end of the semester I'll have 83 credit hours.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the official transcript will show your cumulative, as well as your major GPA?</p>
<p>Or is that a calculation you have to come up with yourself? I calculated mine last semester, but was wondering if its typically on an official transcript?</p>
<p>3.8 pushing a 4.0 if it wasn't for that damn B in Math!! I hate that class!!</p>
