As the Epstein case shows, to be a great scientist you need to be a pedophile. Let's figure this out together, OP. How many times have you masturbated to CP?

You may not like it but GPA is a meme.

this, only the school you come from matters
The trick is basically to get in the best school you can get, even if it means getting a 2.0

This. For academia you can go to a shit school, get a 4.0 + research and get into an Ivy/Public Ivy for grad school, but someone with a lower GPA + research from an Ivy/Public Ivy will likely be considered first.

Going straight into industry? Then yes, going to a kickass school and getting a lower GPA > unknown school with a 4.0.

>>10888427
I don't know why people keep falling for this shit. When it comes to problem solving, you can have an answer by 10:00 am, or you can have a correct answer by 12:00 pm. Which one do you think matters more when there is a lot on the line?

Op here, this is literally why my gpa has been tanking lol. I just changed my schedule for fall, it’s gonna push me a semester back but idc I’m tired I have been slamming upper divisions and labs together back to back semesters. I’m taking 12 credits in the fall, 1 lab

do you have networks? your grade is fucking meaningless if you have ins

[Anonymous No.10888884]

Don't worry. If you graduate with a 3.5 GPA in STEM, you are golden, unless you want to get into an ivy league grad school. In that case, even a perfect 4.0 may not be enough.

Prestige only matters with law school. Just stay focused and avoid procrastinating. Work with groups, and TAs before you submit assignments. Go to office hours every week. Fight for every point.

yup, doing research with a top notch professor rn and work a student job in our department and they would vouch for me. I know gpa is just a number but man I know mine could’ve been higher if I picked my schedule better and picked the “easier” Professor instead of being righteous and picking the harder one to be challenged and learn more but w.e I’ll just work at McDonald’s for the rest of life Idc

I followed my own advice, but not consistently at all. Sometimes I just went "fuck it". Don't do that. I stopped doing it in senior year. Kind of like reverse senioritis.

3.44 GPA here and I got into grad school. Not my first choice school, but that's because I didn't have a subject GRE. Also, I already have 12 graduate level credits behind me.

This is only true if you want to go into academia. If you want a job in STEM your GPA is important

GPA is not a meme for academia. As you said, your GPA matters for a STEM job, but STEM jobs are by definition academia-related, industry cannot really be called STEM. Excel and code-monkeying isn't really STEM

GPA = important for academia, meme for industry
