<p>Chaoticorder,</p>
<p>I think that you’re misunderstanding my main point. There is no bias against a high gpa. In fact, people would speak in wonder at people who managed to graduate with 3.8/3.9 gpa’s (I never knew anyone who had a 4.0). </p>
<p>The point that I was trying to make was simply that being insecure to the point that you are constantly comparing yourself to others, defining your self-worth, as it were, through grades, is not mature behavior. </p>
<p>Ultimately, the only person you are competing against should be yourself. The ideal process should be one where you set goals for yourself and you either succeed or fail at meeting those goals. The success or failure of others should really be tangential to your own, internally driven motivations.</p>
