GPA is ruining my life!

It gets a bit easier going forward. So, you should be fine.

If your GPA has the “potential” to go under a 3.0 (lose HOPE if you are in-state), start taking some elective classes to push it up. They check HOPE eligibility at 30, 60 and 90 hours. If you have a 3.0 or above at the check, you’ll be fine. Even if you dip below 3.0 cumulative for a semester, as long as it’s not at the check point, you’ll still maintain HOPE.

The average GT GPA is a 2.7, so a 3.0 is quite good (Dean’s list worthy/equivalent to a 3.5+ in other schools).
