Better than my college GPA of did not finish:) I had a 3-something when I left...except that I didn't take a final or two that last semester (weather was really nice).

I think the GPA thing at Google is just stupidly silly. I've accomplished quite a bit in my career. Thankfully I don't really need Google, but it does drive me nuts that there is a place that I can't work:)

I personally know a number of people working at Google who not only didn't maintain that kind of GPA, they didn't graduate at all.

GPA is only useful as a filter for people just out of college. If you've been in the work force for a while, there are better measures available.
