[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in school, you needed a 3.5 or above to graduate with honors. Plenty made the cut, for sure, but most did not. (I barely made it.) I've known plenty of people who didn't even achieve a 3.0 upon graduation. They're fine, but not everyone is a superstar.[/quote]

yeah, we had 3 levels.  One started at 3.0, the next at 3.5, the last was maybe 3.8?  I was in the lower level somewhere.  I don't remember what my GPA was in college anymore.  I didn't work incredibly hard there, but still made Dean's List most semesters.[/quote]

Ah, a liberal arts major.[/quote]

Do you have a point?  I have a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree.  i wasn't trying to get into grad school immediately where a high gpa would have been more critical.  I did enough to get academic honors based on the criteria at my school at the time.  I wasn't obsessed with grades-I didn't have to be.  I still was a decent student at an academically intense school.  I had type-a friends there who used to shake their heads that I would write a paper in 24 hours and get the same grade they did after working for weeks.  I'm not saying I was a slacker-I did all my assignments, did well on tests, all of it. I just didn't kill myself for it.

At this point in life,no one gives a rat's ass what your gpa was.  Or even what your major was (for the most part).  I have the degrees on my resume-end of story.[/quote]
