What's good for grad school?

C's get degrees.

If youre getting your foot in the door at a plant, firm or business, they could care less about your grade. Your likeability trumps all that on paper.

>What gpa is is the absolute minimum that you would consider acceptable?

For what?

Whether it is grad school or undergrad your gpa is relatively small potatoes in terms of importance. Even if you graduated undergrad with a 2.0 you could still go to grad school, albeit not as simply or easily.

The higher the better. Absolute min generally should be above 3.0. But even below that you can take non-matriculated classes to prove your worth and get rid of your past gpa record.

In terms of getting into grad school your gpa is like 10% of the decision. The most weight is in recommendation letters and SOP (assuming you're an amerifag).

From what I've gathered (still in undergrad) schools don't care too much about GPA, but some school systems drop your application if your GPA is below certain limit. I think above 3.5 is enough, but always aim for higher. What is more important is to get recommendation letters, research experience and a good thesis. Idk for business though. I suppose GRE also help in the U.S. Can someone correct me?

Nope you've got it right. I'd say the drop off point is probably somewhere in the realm of 2.8-3.0 but like i said this does not prevent you from taking other steps to make your grad school dream a reality.

I'd even go as far as to say that your gpa counts for even less than 5% of the decision in the U.S. Maybe a little higher for international as they often dont take SOP.

My undergrad GPA was about 2.9990 (but the second half of my undergrad career was about 3.4, I fucked up the beginning a lot) and I got into a funded PhD program. Not high tiered obviously, but reasonably okay, with an advisor who publishes in good journals
