Hey guys, I currently have a 3.44 GPA and I'm wondering if that's considered good enough for college admissions. What kind of colleges could I realistically aim for with this GPA? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! A 3.44 GPA is generally seen as competitive for many colleges, though it might not be in the top range for more selective schools. With this GPA, you'll have a good chance at many public universities, and a range of slightly less competitive private colleges.
CollegeVine's blog contains a list of schools that regularly accept applicants with a 3.4 GPA, which could be a good starting point for your research: https://blog.collegevine.com/best-schools-accept-3-4-gpa.
