3.85 or higher ALMOST any

3.3 - 3.85 You have many options

2.5 - 3.0 Still good options, but starting to limit your choices

0 - 2.4 School decides if they want you – not the other way around

*NOTE: This is just a representation. Other factors like SAT score, extra-curricular and others can play into college acceptance.
