Try aiming for an education! Why the big focus on the GPA? First of all, a GPA at Brown lacks the meaning it has in almost any other school because there are no requirements outside the major, anything can be dropped or taken P/F. So using concern about GPA to guide your future makes zero sense. It would anywhere but particularly at Brown. Take harder requirements because you should be getting a college education. Fluff does not cut it. Are you squandering a 60K/year experience because you don’t want to see a B? Do research because it will give you valuable experience and you may actually contribute to the world that way. Hey, what a thought-it’s not all about how you dress yourself up in a 4.0 but what you have developed inside. Hope Brown isn’t filled with students with this mentality although I have heard it is. What do you think? I think you should not have a shot at an internship or job because you don’t seem to have any drive beyond that focused on the GPA.
