How many VERY intelligent people do you know with crap GPA/test scores?

<p>lol someone up there spell "genius" "ganius" lol and dont try to say that was a typo either, u dont even use the same finger to do it. lol</p>

<p>My freshman year I roomed with my two best friends, played video games, got drunk almost every night, went to parties, etc. Ended up with a 2.9 first semester, second semester one friend dropped out, other joined fraternity and I studied more, got a 4.0 and I have an A in every class this semester so Im pretty sure I'll get a 4.0 again. gotta stay away from the keystone......</p>

<p>to the OP: A LOT!</p>

<p>"Um who the hell cares about GPAs and test scores. When your adult you will realize that no longer matters in the real world. Hell you will realize it never matters."</p>

<p>it only matters in that you need good enough GPAs/test scores to get the job you are passionate about. very intelligent people with crap GPA/test scores will not get into medical school for instance, so if you want to be a doctor you have to put in that certain amount of effort. but even then, there's hundreds of things more worthy of stressing out than grades... and if I end up not getting a GPA good enough for med school, then I'll find some other job I enjoy doing. our lives are too short to worry about grades.</p>

<p>In the real world no one cares about test scores or GPA. They care about results.</p>

<p>Which is linked to intelligence, work ethic, etc. Test scores & GPA correlate to success in some professions (in others, they might be non-correlated or negatively correlated).</p>
