How good is a 3.6 GPA in college?

Hey! I'm a college freshman, and I just finished my first semester with a 3.6 GPA. I'm not sure if this is a good GPA in college. Thoughts? Appreciate the help!

Hey there! A 3.6 GPA is actually pretty solid, especially for your first semester in college. College courses can be quite challenging, and it's common for students to have a bit of an adjustment period, so getting a 3.6 is definitely something to be proud of! However, keep in mind that what is considered a 'good' GPA can vary depending on your major, future career goals, and aspirations for graduate school. It's always helpful to aim higher, but don't forget to strike a balance between academics, extracurriculars, and your social life. Keep up the good work!
