Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA do I need for grad school?

Master's programs typically expect 3.0+ minimum, with competitive programs at 3.5+. Top PhD programs see 3.7-3.9 averages.

Does college GPA reset each semester?

No — cumulative GPA carries forward. Semester GPA shows current term performance only.

What is a dean's list GPA?

Varies by school. Common cutoffs: 3.5 (some schools), 3.7 (most), 3.85+ (highly selective). Check your school's specific threshold.

Can I retake classes to raise college GPA?

Most schools allow grade replacement for failed or low-grade classes. The new grade replaces the old in GPA calculation, but both appear on the transcript.
