What is Your GPA with All B’s on a 4.0 GPA Scale?
A 3.0 GPA, or a "B" average, represents consistent academic performance and is the national average for graduating high school seniors. While a 3.0 keeps options open at many colleges, highly selective colleges often look for GPAs closer to 3.5 or higher. Colleges consider more than GPA, including course rigor, extracurriculars, essays, and sometimes test scores. A 3.0 GPA with challenging courses can be more competitive than the same GPA in standard classes.
