<p>Just curious to find out since I was told not to expect As in everything, but how do I know if I’m doing good, alright, or terribly? I’m a Computer Science major if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>3.3 to be competitive for internships/jobs</p>
<p>Does major GPA matter more than regular GPA for internships/jobs?</p>
<p>A decent GPA in my opinion would be a 3.5. </p>
<p>A good GPA would be at the level which qualifies you for latin honors at the time of graduation. </p>
<p>Cum Laude: 3.648 - 3.791
Magna Cum Laude: 3.792 - 3.896
Summa Cum Laude: 3.897 - 4.000 </p>
<p>Summa Cum Laude is award to top 2%, Magna Cum Laude is awarded to the next 4%, and Cum Laude is awarded to the next 8%. So if your GPA is above 3.648 you would be in the top 14% of your class. </p>
<p>Of course the higher your GPA the better your chances are for anything academic such as internships, jobs, and graduate school.</p>
<p>^ those numbers are re-evaluated every year, fyi</p>
<p>Oops…forgot to mention that. Thank you Astrina. </p>
<p>Latin Honors are indeed re-evaluated every year with Cum Laude usually hovering around the 3.65 level. The numbers presented above are for the 2010-2011 school year.</p>
<p>You do realize that a disproportionately small amount of CS/Engineers earn Latin Honors, right?</p>
<p>A 3.3 in CS is much more impressive than a 3.3 in, let’s say, Poli Sci. Average GPA cutoffs for competitive internships, jobs, and masters programs for CS majors tend to be lower than in other discplines.</p>
<p>A 4.0 is usually considered pretty decent.</p>
<p>^lol.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help guys.</p>
<p>How bad is a 2.575 your very first quarter…? I THOUGHT I WASN’T GOING TO PASS MY CLASSES!</p>
<p>I swear I will study 100x harder the rest of my life, good lord.</p>
