For the Babson College Class of 2017, on average, admitted students had high school grades between A- and B+ and earned SAT scores from 1850-2140.
Babson College takes an extensive and holistic look at all applications for admission, taking many factors into consideration, including SAT or ACT scores, high school grades and the level of high school courses (AP, honors, accelerated, etc.), writing ability, leadership, involvement in activities and/or work experience, and academic motivation.
Your term GPA is your Grade Point Average for that one term of school (semester, quarter, or however your school divides its year). Your cumulative GPA is your grade point average over the entire year (or years) of school.
The required GPA is a 2.8, USF uses a weighted average, meaning they add .5 or 1 point to your GPA depending on how many IB, AP, Dual Enrollment, Honors, or AICE courses that you have received an average of a "C" or better in. USF encourages students to send in their highest test scores. Your minimum score may depend on your overall GPA, below is an overview of what the scores of admitted freshmen typically look like.
Middle 50% GPA: 3.58 - 4.08
Middle 50% SAT: 1100 - 1280 (Critical Reading + Math only)
Middle 50% ACT: 24 - 28
This term references two related contexts. The first form is academic performance as based on quantitative indicators (letter grades, GPA indexes, and class ranking). The other aspect is lack of scholastic accomplishments as in conferred degrees, research and credentials.Ê
The average ACT score for students admitted to California Polytechnic State University is 26, well above the national average of 21.
A 3.01 GPA is equal to a B or B+ average. A "good" GPA is completely subjective. You can find out what requirements there are for universities and scholarships by contacting your adviser or the visiting the school's websites.
3.01 is nothing to sneeze at! Just remember, your value is not determined by how well you do in school. Do your best and you will be successful.
The decision of whether to include GPA in a resume is subjective; there are no hard rules. But here is one set of suggested guidelines.
Yes, if:
- You're applying for your first or second job after graduation, and
- Your studies relate to the position for which you're applying, and
- Your GPA is impressively high. No, if:
- Your job history is significant, relevant, and speaks for itself, or
- Your GPA is not impressive or your studies don't relate to the job.
It varies depending on the unviersity. Most university websites will offer some type of range. For example, the mean average range for Harvard applicants is between 1400 and 1580 (almost a perfect score). However, the average for Arizona State University (which also has some excellent and nationally ranked colleges) is between 990 and 1230. The national average was recalibrated in the late 1990's to again be 1000 (500 for verbal and 500 for math), with a perfect score being 1600. The College Board, who writes the SAT I and subject tests, provides a site where you can look up the averages for your school of choice. Below is a link to that site: http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1094&profileId=6 On a more personal note, I went to one of the most competitive private high schools in the country (the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy) and I saw FAR too many of my friends and classmates have meltdowns because of these tests. Colleges these days look at so much more than just your SAT I scores. I wouldn't devote too much of my time to perfecting my scores on these tests. That doesn't mean don't study, but I think the research has shown that you can only bring your score up so much with intense preparation--it kind of planes off. After all, it's supposed to be a test that measures innate reasoning and represent your cumulative thirteen years of primary and high school education. In fact, I got a 1470 on it, and, at the time, I thought I was doomed, as I was applying to Ivy League schools and thought it wouldn't make me "stand out" enough. Your time would be much better spent making your college applications attractive in other ways--e.g. writing a good resume of your activities, honors and awards, perfecting your essays, working on recommendation letters with teachers, participating in new things to put on your resume, and even taking some other exams that colleges will accept to either make you stand out more or even for class credit (in my opinion, the credit is the most valuable). These exams include SAT II subject tests (I was good at writing, which isn't tested on the SAT I, and I took that subject test and I got a PERFECT SCORE--think about sending that to a college!), CLEP tests, and AP tests. I ended up with a FULL SCHOLARSHIP, and I didn't have a perfect SAT score. Just work on showing what your strengths are, because that is what schools really want to know. By the way, I now work for a Universty as a senior staff member, so I can say this with some certainty.
You do not need any specific GPA. Perfect grades are not as important as selecting the most difficult courses that your school offers, provided that you can excel in them. That said, nearly all admitted students [approx. 98%] fall within the top 10% of their high school graduating classes. The bottom line: there is not magic number or formula; Harvard considers the whole package.
I would say:
3.0 or better is good
3.3 or better is really good
3.5 or better is exceptional

Most schools follow this scale:
Regular:
4.0 = A
3.7 = A-
3.3 = B+
3.0 = B
2.7 = B-
2.3 = C+
2.0 = C
1.7 = C-
1.3 = D+
1.0 = D
0.7 = D-
0.0 = F
Honors:
5.0 = A
4.7 = A-
4.3 = B+
4.0 = B
3.7 = B-
3.3 = C+
3.0 = C
2.7 = C-
2.3 = D+
2.0 = D
1.7 = D-
1.0/0.0 (some schools are different, still confers no credit/unit) = F
I Believe It Really Is In 1 Class It Is low It`s Bad So I'm Gonna Have to Go With An a
better than b really i got it this year and it`s messed up I'm Not Happy So I wish to
change that grade on monday if you can change it then do what`s best.
Honestly, it depends what your major is. If youre a freshman, a 2.5 is considered average..since your just getting settled in and all that stuff. If youre in a challenging major, a 2.5 isn't bad. If youre looking to do something after college, grad school, medical school, etc, then a 2.5 is a problem. Graduate programs almost always want a 3.0, and medical schools want a 3.3 and higher. If you are just getting a diploma, chances are your employer wont pay much attention to your gpa.
Weighted GPA is a way to allow some classes to count more. For example, AP classes in some high school may have a weighted grade. So normally an A would contribute 4 points to a GPA, but in a weighted system, that A you got in AP calculus counts as 5 points not 4.
So it becomes possible to have greater than a 4.0 average, whereas, in a non-weighted one max is 4.0
The GPA requirement for general admissions is not typically indicated, and is just one part of the total admissions selection (of course the higher the better). They are really attempting to look at the whole person. That being said, there are some specific programs of study that do require a minimum GPA score, but it differs from one program to another.
