College Grades

<p>What do college grades even matter for. I am studying business at the Universtiy of Miami and curious as to what exactly my grades mean. I am a bit worried because I feel as if I am on pace for 4 B's and 1 A.</p>

<p>It depends on your aspirations and major.</p>

<p>In Engineering anywhere between a 2.7-3.5 will get you the exact same job at the exact same compensation level.</p>

<p>In Accounting, the difference between a 3.3 and a 3.8 is the difference between having a rather lousy bookkeeping job with few opportunities for promotion and working as an auditor traveling the world and having amazing career opportunities.</p>

<p>In Math/Physics/Biology it’s very important.</p>

<p>In the social sciences and humanities, 3.0-3.8 doesn’t make much of a difference for career prospects in many cases.</p>

<p>If you want to go to graduate school, GPA is important. Especially graduate schools outside of MBA or JD.</p>

<p>I don’t know, I think GPA might be even more important for JD (that and LSATs are basically the only things schools use for admissions).</p>

<p>The U!!
lllllllllll_____________llllllllllllll
That is a U^^^
I can’t answer your question. I just like that hand signal that they do haha, sorry</p>

<p>^ ***???</p>

<p>Also, college GPA’s are used to determine whether students have the drive/inspiration to succeed in college or not, for financial aid and scholarship purposes.</p>
