The Failure of Archived Failure

Generally speaking, GPA matters for:

• applying to other schools and
• maybe your first job out of college.

In many cases, employers hiring new college graduates or interns treat GPA this way: look for a GPA greater than a cutoff (often 3.0) as one of the preliminary screens to see who gets prioritized for an interview. Beyond that, GPA typically does not matter, and specific grades typically matter even less. Some specific employers may be different, of course.
