<p>If you mean that are “are a student who should not be JUDGED by your grades”, how else are colleges going to evaluate you? One of the best ways to predict future behavior is to look at past behavior. But there’s nothing wrong with your GPA: a 3.6 is perfectly respectable. You don’t need to justify that.</p>
<p>Persistence and a persuasive nature are useful skills in any career, not just business. Besides, there’s a business of just about anything - there’s a business of technology, a business of music. There’s no reason you won’t use those personality traits in another kind of career. (There is a way that you can combine those loves, btw - music today uses all kinds of technology to make the music sound better and sell it. One of my friends was a music industry major at SUNY-Oneonta; there is a similar major at the University of Miami and probably other schools.)</p>
<p>If you’re not sure what you want to major in, you may want to apply to schools that are broadly good liberal arts schools (not necessarily LACs) with a wide range of majors that you can pick from. Before you arrive on campus, narrow your major interests down to a few, and take classes in those areas. That’s how you can decide what to major in.</p>
