If you are simply trying to obtain a Bachelor’s degree, a GPA of 3.4 would be fine.

RE:
What is a good college GPA?
Right now I am trying for all A's. So far so good; However, I am worried I may end up with a B in at least one of my classes and possibly even two. What is a good college level GPA? Would two A's and two B's still be okay? I'm just curious. Thanks. 🙂

Most employers care very little about grades, just as long as you have the degree is what they’re interested in. In fact the unwritten rule is that people that have really good GPA’s give employers a bad feeling, because they think that this is someone who only obtained those grades because they probably didn’t have to work during their schooling. In other words they see someone who didn’t have to balance the responsibilities of school and work.

Employers tend to further feel comfortable with someone who had a GPA of 2.85 to 3.25, because if you can prove you obtained this while going to work they’ll be very impressed that you were able to have a decent GPA while balancing all of your responsibilities. Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Weird how everyone that posted that you do not need good college GPA’s got thumbs down, including myself. It’s the truth. I graduated with Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Sigma Theta honors, as well as Dean’s Honor Roll, but I did so more out of self-satisfaction and as a challenge. Out there in the real world I knew that a GPA doesn’t really effect the employer, and I was right once I began looking around. You can quote a 4.0 GPA to every prospecting interviewer you meet, but if they don’t get the feeling that you’ll become a valuable asset to their organization (through both tangible and intangible factors) while they’re interviewing you they will instead hire the 3.25 GPA graduate who did. How you present yourself to any prospecting employer in terms of your intrinsic value is what impresses them.

But now that you mentioned that you want to become a doctor then yes, on paper the high GPA does matter because most doctorate programs (if not all) will not accept you if you have a low one. Hope this info helps and good luck with your schooling.

Also, there are a lot of people content with just a C average. Few jobs, outside of education and government positions, require one to submit a college transcript. So just having your ‘degree’ is good enough for them.

Although your grades won’t matter after school, you’re going to need good grades to even GET an interview. First thing a recruiter looks at is your grades and your major. If they aren’t up to par, your resume gets tossed in the trash.

Once you do get the interview, your interviewing skills take over.
