[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GPA is very important. The only folks saying it isn't are parents with slacker kids trying to convince themselves otherwise.[/quote] Not true. I am one of the parents of a relatively low GPA engineering kid. I am not saying GPA doesn’t matter. What I am saying is that even engineers with low GPAs land on their feet. No, they don’t get the first pick of jobs, but they don’t end up at Trader Joe’s, either.[/quote] And... in a program where the median grade is a C in some of the weed out classes, a ton of kids have low GPAs. Meanwhile, he’s gotten at least a B+ in every liberal arts class he took, including the one where he wrote the final paper with a concussion. I’m not going to say he’s headed to a top position, but I don’t think he’s headed to the dust bin, either.[/quote]
