So, the answer to the question is dependent on the year level. At least in the 3.4 range and that’s kind of reaching already. 3.5 is solid as solid can get in my opinion, 3.6 is a good gpa, 3.7 is great. 3.8 = amazing. 3.9 almost goated. 4.0 cumulative gpa = goated .

I’m in grad school (in what some have reported as one of best programs in the country) and had a cumulative of 2.92 because I went back to a school at 30 after dropping out when I was young with a 1.2.
There's also a good balance between GPA and experience/skills. Sure, a 3.8 is a fantastic GPA, but if you have no experience or skills outside of school, they'll hire a 3.0 who does, instead of you. Keep above a 3.0 and get some good experience and you'll be set. 3.0 is baseline for “good”. Around 3.5ish is really good.
In your case, you started at 4.0 then dropped to a 3.6 which is a decrease in your academic performance and is considered bad obviously. Who knows if you'll keep going down or not. However, if you started at a 3.2 gpa, and made your way up to a 3.6, it shows improvement and that person is considered to have more potential than you. 3.
Reply. Award. hushpuppies_23. • 4 mo. ago. Its an excellent GPA but 3.6 is definitely not outstanding enough, not to dishearten anybody, but I applied with 3.62 this cycle and faced multiple rejections from universities which "supposedly" put a GPA cap. 8. Reply. Award. PitifulWalk354.
Is a 3.6 GPA considered excellent? How good is a 3.6 GPA for an accounting major? No, it’s good, not excellent. 4.0 or 5.0 is excellent but 3.6 isn’t bad. 3.6 for an accounting major is monumental dude. 4.0 is literal excellence. So no. But why does it matter to you?
Mine is a minimum 3.0 for all graduate degrees except vet and medical, which are 2.5. 3.0 in biomedical is good because that’s the minimum pass. Most sit between 3.5 and 4.0. Honestly in my experience nobody really cares that much about your GPA at the PhD level so long as it meets the minimum to graduate.
Seriously. A 3.0 or better is definitely a very good thing to have, and work experience is better, but it was reading threads like these filled with people saying it's an absolute 100% MUST to get a job is basically why I had a low-grade nervous breakdown my senior year (graduating with a 2.8 and no experience).
You definitely have a good shot at Big 4 if that’s what you want. I would have a good story for the low GPA and how it’s been trending upwards. The 3.5 GPA cutoff is a lot softer than it has been before due to declining accounting graduates and the tight labor market. But at the end of the day, Big 4 is not the end all be all so don’t ...
Average HS GPA is somewhere in the 3.0-3.2 range. Likely higher for the set of students who head off to 4Y schools immediately after HS, but I would guess that a 3.6 is at least average, and probably above average. No way to say for sure, but, without knowing anything about the schools you applied to or what major you indicated, I would guess ...
