Thanks for your replys

Hmmm, search the archives this has been discussed before. I think everybody agreed any GPA above 3.0 is considered good.
 
I bumped an old thread with 119 samples of this forums users GPA's. But if you read the thread you will see that the average GPA at one school is much different than at another. I think that there was a poll thread on that subject as well, look around.
