3.0 GPA is looking at regional state universities.

3.5 maybe some of the privates in this thread, with ED.

Sorry private school mom. A B student is a B student.

What GPA does a "B student" have? 3.0 ?

Can you be more specific? What is the unweighted GPA? There's a difference between, say, 2.9 or 3.0, on the one hand, and 3.4 on the other.

Share one school that fits this description in 2026:

Excellent reputation, strong programs, and accepts a good number of B students?
