Consider 2 scenarios of studying at a university. In both scenarios you put in the exact same amount of effort over time, but in one scenario you can yield a higher GPA. You don't have to study more, study harder, or take more classes. All you have to do is take the right courses at the right time.
The topic of grades is of interest to many students. Although the key to earning good grades is to excel in your classes, there are certain strategies that can help you boost your GPA at any given time. Having just graduated from a 4-year undergraduate degree at a public American university, I wanted to share one strategy that definitely helped me become more successful. By strategically planning the sequence of the courses you will take, it can have a substantial, positive impact on your GPA and success in finding a job.
Although a high GPA does not always guarantee success, it can get your foot in the door. The GPA is often a minimum requirement for being considered for grants, scholarships, internships, and job interviews. This means that if you don't have a good GPA, you may not qualify for the right opportunities no matter how good you are otherwise, and believe me, I've seen a number of cases where highly competent students come back from job fairs empty-handed, only because their GPA is not up to par with the company's requirement.
Therefore it is advisable to keep your GPA as high as possible.
