Usually, a 3.0 to 3.5 GPA is considered a good GPA on a 4.0 scale grading system. This is equivalent to a grad “B” above average. A 3.5 GPA is used as a general benchmark when defining a good university GPA.  For a 5.0 scale grading system, a 4.0 above GPA score or a 4.5 above GPA score is considered a good GPA.
