Is a 3.1 GPA good?
Yes, solid. B average. Meets the common 3.0 bar for internships, employer screens, many scholarships and most state universities. In high school, many students report weighted GPAs, so compare a 3.1 against unweighted numbers when you can (see weighted vs unweighted GPA). For the full set of benchmarks, see what is a good GPA.
