<p>just curious. i always thought college gpa is important if you want to go to grad school but how about when you apply for jobs?</p>
<p>On a lot of job applications they ask for your GPA.</p>
<p>It'd be wise if you're applying to your first job and throw out your GPA, especially if it's high. A GPA can turn heads.</p>
<p>Above a 3.0? Mention it if it's not required.</p>
<p>Below a 3.0? Keep your mouth shut until asked.</p>
<p>Some internships and jobs won't look at your application if you're below a certain GPA. Usually it's 3.0, but I've seen 3.5 as well.</p>
<p>hey i am 16 and i took a class at jhu and got a grade that goes on my transcript. I got a B. Think workplace will care on how i did in a class at the age of 16?</p>
<p>Google is famous for not hiring anyone with under a 3.75 GPA.</p>
<p>But that's not because Google has a cutoff, that's because Google hires only the most incredibly intelligent people, and they almost all have very high GPAs. That said, Google prizes creativity and raw intelligence that can produce innovative things much more than some kind of arbitrary cutoff GPA, and you can bet if the next genius software developer had a 3.6, he or she would still get hired.</p>
<p>They may do that now, but I remember reading that at one point, 3.75 was the GPA they started accepting applications at. You were also expected to explain any B's you received.</p>
<p>almost nothing is more important than you GPA</p>
<p>"almost nothing is more important than you GPA"</p>
<p>networking, just about as important.</p>
<p>grad school</p>
<p>Networking is definitely very important as well. Once you're above a certain GPA threshold, it doesn't matter anymore. That's when your connections come into play. There's nothing to say that someone with a 3.3 gpa won't get a position over someone with a 3.8.</p>
