I graduated with a 3.123 GPA. Is that too low?

Question

I majored in accounting and just finished my associate's degree. I received only A's and B's in business and accounting related courses, but I received a couple of C's in courses such as physics, calculus and English Comp. Those last 3 classes lowered my GPA quite a bit. What would an average 4 year institution think about that GPA? Keep in mind that I worked 40-50 hours a week and finished my degree in only 2 years. (Total of 60 credits).

Answer 1

Your GPA is very good, you have nothing to worry about. Accounting is in high demand so you should have no problem finding a job. Anything above a 3.00 is great, really. You need to take into account that some degrees are more difficult than others; I know a chemical engineering major who has a 3.2 GPA and has already been offered several jobs.

Answer 2

Your GPA is good. Anything above a 3.0 is above average. An average 4 year school would be fine with your GPA, especially considering that you worked full time while also earning your Associate's.

Answer 3

I have heard that 3.1 is really good .
