Why 3.0 matters more than other GPAs

A 3.0 GPA is the most commonly cited cut-off across Canada — many master's programs, co-op placements, and scholarships require it as a minimum. Because so many decisions hinge on this exact number, it's worth confirming your specific program's stated requirement directly rather than relying on a general 73-76% estimate, since some schools set the B threshold a point or two higher or lower.
