Does GPA matter?

Does GPA Really Matter? Let’s Talk About It!
As a first-gen Latina navigating business school, I’ve heard it all: “GPA is everything” or “Your grades don’t matter-it’s all about networking.” So, which one is true?
Here’s my take:
💡 GPA can open doors-especially for internships and scholarships. But…
💡 It’s not the whole story. Building skills, networking, and learning how to sell yourself matter just as much (if not more)!
For me, the key is balance: focusing on academics without losing sight of the bigger picture.
What’s your experience? Have you felt the pressure to have a perfect GPA, or do you think other factors carry more weight? Let me know below!
