Re: G.P.A if your not going to grad school
if you aren't go to grad school, doesn't really matter too much, afaik.
3.3 vs. 3.6 could be big for grad school, but most people i know out of college have jobs that aren't correlated to gpa at all. |

Keep it as high as you can. Your GPA follows you forever, and you never know what you might want to do in the future, or what the future of hiring processes is.

Re: G.P.A if your not going to grad school
Lots of companies ask for GPA. Some even ask for graduate school GPA. It is a mistake to think that GPA means nothing just because some companies don't care or think it doesn't correlate with success.

Re: G.P.A if your not going to grad school
Forgive me for this silly question I don't know much about all this. I go to a community college in california, my gpa is a horrible 2.6, what are my chances of transfering into let's say an out of state university like for example the university of oklahoma? (80% acceptance rate i read in a college guide book)
Is my gpa just too bad to get into any university? |

[/ QUOTE ] what year? i kno some UCs will actually accept transfers with GPAs hovering at about 3.0 and maybe lower. UC is much more forgiving for transfer students than for students straight out of high school. your gpa isnt too bad until youve given up. |

GPAs are only important if you want to goto Grad School and your first job. Otherwise I doubt your going to continue to put it on your resume.

LF,
why bother going to community college if you are going to get a 2.6? |

Your GPA follows you forever [/ QUOTE ] This isn't even close to being true. Hardly anyone lists their GPA on their resume after they have enough work experience. The work experience is more recent and much more relevant to any new position you might take than your college GPA. Basically, if you have a subpar GPA and have to take a first job that isn't what you would like, you need to kick ass at that job even more than normal. |
