[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-graduation work experience trumps GPA any day. Just like the SAT didn't matter a year after high school, nobody's going to give a hoot about the college GPA once you land that first job. A 3.1 with experience will be hired before the 3.5 without experience.[/quote] Maybe true for those seeking jobs right after college, but absolutely not true for any serious graduate or professional school. So if the job you really want is the one after you finish law school, business school, medical school, or get your PhD, focus on that GPA and (if hard sciences) research. Related jobs /internships along the way are great and can help you stand out from other academically strong students, but if they kill your GPA your internship in college won't get you into grad/professional school[/quote]
