Your GPA needs to be high enough to allow you to meet your future goals. If you want to get into a competitive master’s degree program, your college GPA will need to be fairly high. If you are applying for an entry-level job, your college GPA may not be as important. Take some time to brainstorm potential career paths and research to see what your expected GPA should be. A good college GPA is often considered a B average, or a 3.0. However, this number varies depending on the program. Do the best you can do and work hard to keep your grades up.
