<p>I was wondering what career options do people have if they don't have amazingly high GPA. I am a fairly realistic person I am pretty sure that I will anaywhere from a 3.3 to 3.4 upon graduating from UCLA as a life science major, however it looks like my future is going to bleek since my GPA is not competitve enough for law, business, or med school. So what happens to people that graduate with decent grades from UCLA (3.0-3.4) do they have a strong job outlook?</p>
<p>Most businesses care much less about GPA than they do about experience. A person with a 3.3ishGPA but with awesome internship and practical experience will be fine (depending, of course, on the industry and companies the student wishes to work with). </p>
<p>However, a person with a 3.0 and no work experience will have fewer options. </p>
<p>Also, you know, you don't HAVE to apply to law or business school immediately after graduation. Really. There's always a chance at redemption especially if you build a good track record of experience.</p>
<p>There's more to life than GPA. Seriously.</p>
<p>post bacc, get good grades to boost your overall gpa, and then apply for professional schools. Get a masters degree? You have a lot of options since your gpa isn't completely dismal (i.e. <3.0). I'm guessing since your life sci that you are premed, so i would assume you have or will be taking the mcat. do good on it and u'll still be a good applicant.</p>

O RLY? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>lol :D</p>
<p>yeah...i thought that was pretty good when i first saw it =/</p>
<p>yeah how do you predict your GPA in 3 years .</p>
<p>No. They end up working at the GAP as thirty-somethings in their parents' house.</p>
<p>Well there are such things as "other factors" such as GRE, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, extra curricular, community service, awards, undergraduate college, and life situation. </p>
<p>So it's only a part of the big formula.</p>
