Better school or better grades?

Go to the best school with the best fit. This is especially true if there aren’t med/law school aspirations. GPA doesn’t matter much in the job search, though it certainly matters in graduate school admissions (though school and grading policies are taken into account).

I do know what you mean, though. I know students from my high school who are getting better grades than I am now in college even though I did better than them in high school. This is despite the fact that I work harder in college. It can be frustrating, particularly if you’re faced with those students bragging about their grades.
