<p>Good advice but unfortunately, law and medicine (and certain highly competitive jobs at consulting firms, i-banking) still calculate a good percentage of your worth based on you GPA. Grad schools look at classes that are within the school/field you are applying to.</p>
<p>Despite what some people may tell you, GPA (along with perhaps research experience) is still the single most important determining factor in getting a good job, getting into grad schools, etc. Yes, have fun, make friends, don’t be an insufferable ******bag, take difficult classes, take classes outside your comfort zone, etc. - but do not let your GPA drop below 3.75 because that closes a lot of doors, plain and simple.</p>
