<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>Figured out today I will probably most definitely get a 3.46 (2 A's and 2 Bs) at the end of my first semester ( I took 13 hours this semester). I go to a Top 15 Public University (Public Ivy)/Top 50 school and I am an Accounting/Business major. Our school is somewhat known to be very competitive and hard and I was wondering if a 3.46 is going to hurt me in the long run. It sucks because I haven't even touched my major classes yet so far I am taking somewhat intro level classes (Integral Calculus, US History, Art History, Seminar Course in Film) and our business school is extremely competitive and prestigious and I would like to land a good internship later on. How bad will this hurt me necessarily?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Not at all. Most employers don’t care about your gpa. Not to mention that this is your gpa from your FIRST semester. Nobody will care. You are fine. Relax</p>
<p>Not a big deal, first semester of college is often a learning process all it’s own. Learning how to budget your time, how to study college level work, all that fun stuff. The good internships often require a 3.5 GPA, at least around here, but with how few credits you have so far a straight A semester next semester will have you back over a 3.5 anyways. I had a 3.26 when I started back to school after a long gap. Already pulled it back over a 3.5 thanks to 29 credits at A’s. Look at what hurt your grades and make a plan for next semester. Get your books early and start studying them for next semester as soon as you take finals for this one…</p>
