A 1.0 GPA, or Grade Point Average, is equivalent to a D letter grade on a 4.0 GPA scale, and a percentage grade of 65–66.
Is a 1.0 GPA Good?
Considering the US national average GPA is a 3.0, a 1.0 is far below average. Generally, a 1.0 is considered a dismal GPA. Raising a 1.0 GPA to an acceptable number is extremely difficult, but possible with diligence and determination.
For high school students
This will be a red flag for any educational institution. You will need to raise your GPA to be considered for continuing your education.
For college students
Most graduate programs require at least a 2.5 or a 3.0 to even apply. If you have completed an internship, or if your GPA is high within classes concerning your major, there is a slim chance you may be accepted somewhere.
How Can I Raise My GPA?
Frankly, you’re in trouble with a 1.0 GPA. To raise it, you need to complete future work on time and to the best of your abilities, and be selective about what classes you take in the coming semester.
Step away from extracurricular activities as much as possible to focus on your studies.
Ask a classmate who is performing well to help you study.
If possible, take classes you feel you could perform well in when selecting courses for next semester.
