LOW GPA = NO JOB?

Like I've said on these forums before: GPA is an excellent indicator (most of the time) of who is lazy and who is a hard worker. I will ask the GPA of anyone I hire for my company and it is unlikely I will hire anyone with less than a 3.0.

Well, my high school gpa was .012.

isn't passing classes a requirement of graduation?

wtf is wrong with public schools? :Q

hehehehe After 4 1/2 years of high school (and only passing 1 class) I left to try college. Finished my state diploma in 3 quarters there. Hell if I'd known you could get a high school diploma from college I would have done it when I was 14 and saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Your logic is a bit flawed. Many 4.0 students get a high GPA just because they're good at taking written exams and the like; or they are very good at memorizing a lot of information and cramming their brain with info the night before the test. It doesn't really mean that they work hard, or even like to.

Others may study their asses off, attend every lecture, take rigourous notes, and still not be able to get a 4.0 GPA. But it doens't mean they don't have a good work ethic. There's no way to know for sure until you meet them face to face and get an idea of what they're all about.

yeah, but if someone has a low C or D average, it seems safe to say that they're either smart and lazy or stupid and mediocre

What's with all the flaming?

He's probably Canadian...Canadian universities use percentages to access grades instead of GPA's. 60% would be like a C+ I believe?

I suck right now too...2.9 two more years but chemical engineering sucks.
