[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many do.

How can you not know that? [/quote]

Easy it literally says on the job posting LOL.

Many companies do have a 3.0 min. Which is why some people go to grad school to change their gpa.

C's get degrees it's what a student does with their degree that is important.[/quote]

Clever deflection, troll.

Many [b]colleges[/b] require maintaining a minimum GPA.

But since this thread is about GPAs and entry level jobs let me ask you all this...

Do you interview the C student from Harvard/Yale/Princeton or the "A" student from the school no one has ever heard of?

Most colleges only require a 2.0 gpa as a minimum.

There may be certain majors that require higher---typically they are linked with direct admit to a graduate program (think PT/OT/MBA) and to remain in the direct admit program you need a 2.5 or 3.0.   But I've had 3 kids in college and the only programs that require anything over 2.0 are the direct admit grad programs, and that makes sense---to get into PT school with an undergrad degree you would need a 3.7+ gpa, so it's reasonable to expect students to maintain a 2.5 in undergrad to stay in the program.
