This is terrible advice. Most employers barely care about GPA. Reading books and memorizing random information has little meaning for most jobs. In many majors, only the top 10% - 20% have GPA’s that high - by your logic, most people wouldn’t have jobs. In every job interview I’ve gone to, they’ve asked me about my job, internship, and research experience. They didn’t even care about GPA. </p>
<p>The only people I’ve ever heard being so obsessive about GPA and college prestige are on College Confidential. No one in the real world seems to care. </p>
