What's a lowest GPA you can get but still is considered a pretty good one?

<p>I was wondering if 3.6 is a good GPA. I'm a junior this year and the class i'm taking are so f-ing hard. I'm probably at a 3.6 this year. Overall, it may 3.8. Is having a 3.6 pretty bad for schools like Duke, Northwestern, U Chicago, Columbia, and some top-tier schools?</p>

<p>unweighted?</p>

<p>it depends on the colleges' perception of your school, the level of the classes that you're taking, your class rank, and your scores.</p>

4

<p>UChicago is not stats concious, in fact, they send D a brochure stating so. You just have to write a few good essays.</p>

5

<p>what are you kidding me? UChicago is very difficult to get into. It takes more than just a few good essays.</p>

6

<p>You need the grades and the essays. They are known to be a bit more lax on the test scores though.</p>

7

<p>UChicago is less stats-conscious, but it's stats-conscious nevertheless.</p>

<p>UChicago is one of the best schools out there. I'd say it's just as selective as the ivy leagues. And I'd say as long as you have a 3.75+ you're fine. Are the collegeboard GPAs shown on the stats weighted or unweighted? Or are they on the university's scale?</p>
