It depends. If you are going into an upper tier position then yes, but many companies just look for a degree

If you are hoping to go to graduate school, they usually have a GPA requirement.

A wise man once told me
a 3.0 with multiple internships and experiences is gonna get the job over a 3.6 GPA with no experience

This. It can definitely open up more doors but it's not a huge deal if you have a low gpa. Just make sure you offset that by either work experience (preferred) or extracurricular projects. GPA matters less and less the more experience you get.Originally Posted by Reef58
Matters for continuing education, though.

Depends on your major and if you're going to further your education. For most STEM it will matter, even though experience is equally if more important. Only delusional **** ups say it doesn't matter at all, there's a huge difference between getting a 3.0 and a 2.0 and it's not even that hard tbh to keep a B avg. If you can't even manage straight Bs then good luck.

Above a 3.5 with a few extra curricular activities and you are often offered a position within your graduating field. A 3.0 shows you attended class and after that the hiring process becomes difficult because a 3.0 is very easy to obtain with about 90% of majors. If you ever want to go to grad school that doesnt require a GMAT/LSAT then your UG GPA is even more scrutinized.

Higher GPA will ALWAYS be better than a lower GPA (independent of other things on your resume). Just leave it at that. If you can get a HIGH GPA just do it.

It depends.
You might as well get the best GPA you can manage just in case you want to purse a master's.
I'm finishing my 2nd bachelor's right now, and I need a minimum of 3.2 just to get in to the next phase of education I want to go for -- so obviously a 3.5 and above is my goal so I can be more than just minimally competitive.August 2023:
BW: 194
B: 315 x 3, 225 x 14 (PR: 335)
S: 315 x 2, 225 x 18 (PR's)

OHP: 185 x 3 (PR), 135 x 16

Who the hell said anything about a 2.0? I'm talking about 3.0-2.5. If you got a connect then it don't matter if you get a 2.0, you got a job right there while somebody else busting their ass to maintain a 4.0 is having a hard time because he has no social skills.Originally Posted by Efre

That is not bad advice at all. All i was saying was gpa dont matter unless u are going for graduate school and it is true. It was his question either way so its not bad advice.Originally Posted by Productivity
not because of my gpa because of my major but i am getting interviews but i keep screwing it up from there i guess. I have a job working for a physical therapist either way and i get 30-35 hrs/week which is not too bad since i dont have a lot of experience other than private personal training.Originally Posted by blakhomer

A 3.6 GPA is going to have an easier time getting those internships

Good luck getting a decent job with anything less than a 3.0 unless that "connection" is family, or you have a really good reason for basically doing nothing in University.Originally Posted by Acetheticz

That's how my brother was able to get a project manager gig even though his GPA was just a 3.1 and he never took an internship. He also went to ASU.*Willing to risk it all crew*

09-04-2014, 07:34 PM #28You can't get an internship from your major department if you have a 2.5, you won't place your GPA on a resume if it's a 2.5, and you can't get into any of the events for business groups to make ANY connections with a 2.5Originally Posted by Acetheticz
we've just concluded that GPA matters

This is the problem with the forum. Everyone has a friend of a friend who's uncle's daughter's brother's cousin got a decent job with a bad GPA. But you didn't.Originally Posted by Acetheticz
