Deciphering GPA: What’s a 2.0?

I'm trying to understand the GPA system and it's a bit confusing. For example, what letter grade or percentage would a GPA of 2.0 be equivalent to?

In the American educational grading system, a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 2.0 typically equates to a "C" average, which generally correlates to achieving around 70% to 73% in your coursework. This conversion varies somewhat depending on the individual grading scale used by a specific institution or school district. So, a 2.0 GPA indicates that you've received Cs in most of your courses. However, keep in mind that colleges and universities usually look for higher GPA values during admissions, as they indicate above-average to exceptional academic performance. For most colleges, a GPA of 3.0 (B average) is often considered a more competitive baseline. College admission standards vary substantially though, so it's always good to look at the specific criteria for the schools that interest you.
