Is a 2.58 GPA good

Great question! It really depends on your major and your school. I work with applicants for graduate medical programs on a daily basis, and reviewing GPAs is a regular part of my job. When reviewing applicants for acceptence I'm not impressed by an applicant who majored in Communications, and has a GPA of 2.58 if they attended a nationally accredited school. Nationally accredited schools have lower standards, in fact their standards are so low that their credits rarely transfer to other schools -even to other nationally accredited schools. And Communications along with a number of other majors may be difficult to some students, but to most they're very easy to succeed in. But if a 2.58 GPA is from an applicant majoring in any of the sciences, and was earned at a regionally accredited school then I can respect it because regionally accreditation is a higher standard, and the science majors are more difficult. So, I might venture to consider it a good GPA in some instances. Still, I don't think I'd ever refer to it as a great GPA. It doesn't even qualify as a B average. Good luck.

And thank you,
