Questions that need to be answered regarding GPA.
• Listening to students worry about their GPA, does it really matter what it is?
• Is that an accurate summary of how you'll be as an employee?• Does the GPA determine the performance of a Person in
university only or in the professional world as well?• Does the competition factor play role in scoring high GPA?

• GPA always reflects you're inner knowledge and your mental abilities?
• Does my securing of a high GPA guarantee me a job in my future?
• If GPA is not the Part of Job requirement, then what really is then?
• Is Securing a high GPA really a job requirement or is it just for self Satisfaction?

Theory does not necessarily translate into practice.
• Your University GPA is a combination of several factors but isn’t really the best indicator of how you’ll perform in the working world.
• Book smarts and street smarts are very different things.
• Take your classes seriously. Do the work. Show up and learn something. Meet your professors. But I’m here to tell you, the GPA you achieve in University doesn’t matter.

How about this?
• GPA can be an indicator of potential talent and can get you in the door.
• For students, GPA is something that can provide greater academic success such as invitations to national honor societies, recognition from the university.
• It should be a personal objective, not so much professional.
• Employer cares more about what you can DO with what you know & experience.

• A GPA or grading plan is not the fundamental test of intelligence or the forerunner of success in the professional world.
• The idea that maintaining a high GPA will land you the best job in the world when seeking employment is an urban myth.
• Many employers do not believe in giving us a fair chance until they have a strong reference.

• One should not waste his energy and time working hard to only compete his counterpart to achieve a higher GPA then him.
• Your GPA doesn't account for things you are passionate about.• If you are good at what you do and you do what you love
you'll be successful. • It's society that says you need to get a university degree and
have a good GPA to be successful.

• Academic performance is not the best indicator of potential success.
• The best indicator for potential success is the ability to work hard and having a strong internal motivation.
• The ability to succeed in an academic environment does not predict the ability to succeed in a business or workplace environment.
• Succeeding in the workplace also requires a set of skills, such as interpersonal skills, discipline, and connections.

What else is important
• Presentation skills
Offer to be the speaker on behalf of your group in your classes, and learn how to present your projects as an intern.

It’s sad how many students leave college lacking solid writing ability. Focus on developing this skill.
• Your network
You’ve heard it many times: “Who you know is more important than what you know.”
