<p>I'm in a master's program in Industrial Engineering. Looking at just the grades, what is a good performance for future employers/further graduate studies?</p>
<p>First semester:
B+
B+</p>
<p>Second semester:
A-
A</p>
<p>Third semester:
A-
A-</p>
<p>Fourth and fifth semesters:
TBD
TBD
TBD
TBD</p>
<p>GPA is a 3.6 at the moment. I know C is considered nearly failing and one must hold at least a 3.0 gpa average....</p>
<p>grades don’t matter <em>too</em> much in grad school. if you plan to get a job post-master’s, then they matter very little; many students don’t even list their grad school gpa’s, and such doesn’t look suspicious. if you are planning to later go for a phd, gpa only slightly matters. a phd is essentially a research degree. so, profs aren’t concerned too much on how well you can perform in classes. although, if your grades unusually suck, then they might question your overall abilities.</p>
<p>a 3.6 is fair. 3.7 - 3.8 is very common.</p>
