[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law school, med school, and PhD programs (to a lesser extent) care about GPA as, apparently, do some Wall Street 
employers.  Not sure the rest of the world gives a damn.

Where the “bottom 20%” of a group of smart and well-educated kids ends up will depend on how they spent their time, what skills they have, what they are interested in, and how they present themselves.  Politics/government/non-profits, arts, journalism, social services, real estate, and marketing are some examples of fields where GPA is not going to be seen as a good predictor of job performance/aptitude.

Here’s a big picture summary UChicago puts out re where it’s graduates end up:

I noticed with my D, not at UChicago, certain campus jobs even from first yr on require a transcript, e.g., peer tutoring, lab assistant, TA. I suspect there are more on and off-campus opportunities requiring a transcript. These are resume building positions and somehow translate to more or less opportunities after college. [/quote]
