How good does my GPA have to be?

Question

If I just do good on all regular in high school, is it possible to go to good college?
I mean like... what's teh best to become a physicist?

Answer 1

You want at least a 3.0

Answer 2

As high as you can get it to be. There is no point in school where you can achieve a good GPA and be like, "oh well I don't have to study because I have a good GPA." I would say to be a physicist aim for 3.5 or above. If your school offers AP courses or Honors courses or any thing similar take them. Sometimes schools give you a GPA on 5.00 scale depending on the rigour of the courses you have taken. If your school offers GPA on 5.00 scale them definately aim for 4.00 or above

Answer 3

If you go to your guidance counselor, there should be books where you can look up GPAs suggested for certain colleges or careers. If you are smart enough to get a 3.0 or up, I would suggest that. Even if you get into a good college with less, it's always nice to have a scholarship, too.

Answer 4

a good GPA is a 2.0 thats average. to get in to the cal state system colleges u need to maintain a 2.8 and to get into a UC system then u need atleast 3.0 . depending on the college.. and u should take courses in HS that have to do with ur major

Answer 5

"Good college" is somewhat ambiguous.
A 2.5 might not impress Harvard, but it might
get you into a State University.
Getting in is one thing, getting out is the hard part.

The best, MIT., CalTech, Chicago, VA Tech,

Make a phone call. Call an engineering firm and ask to talk to an engineer. Run your question by him, might be a rewarding experience.

Answer 6

3.0 at least on a 4 point scale. So B average.

Answer 7

You should have a good GPA if you want enter into college.
