[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No employer is ever going to ask to see your transcript so it doesn't matter if you graduate with a 2.0 or 4.0 as long as you graduate. [/b]My brother had a 2.0 in college (his issue was frat parties) and even had to come home one term after getting a 1.5 but he's now the CFO at a Fortune 500 company.

He did get an MBA at an IVY after spending 10 years in the workforce, he clearly did well in school the second time. So my advice to OP would be to keep working on your mental health with your doctors and keep going to school even if it's just one or two classes each term. [/quote]

While this is true for the most part, there are many employers that require a certain undergraduate GPA and DO require transcripts. My profession is one that does.

It would be worth knowing what career field OP is planning to go into. Even with that information, it would be hard to tell. Within my own profession, while most do require a transcript, few care about GPA. However, I have seen certain companies required a min. GPA within my profession.[/quote]

I'm curious what you do that required a certain GPA? I've worked on the hill, for several lobbying firms and a non profit and we didn't ask to see anyone's grades or transcripts when hiring. My DH is in finance and has never had a company ask for grades or transcripts. Neither of us have an advanced degree just your basic bachelors from state schools. [/quote]
