Employers don’t generally look closely at gpa. They look at whether or not you earned the degree. Essentially, your degree is just your foot-in-the-door in most cases.

On the other hand, graduate schools DO, indeed, take undergrad GPA into account.

If you’re planning on going to grad school, keep your grades up as high as possible.

4) Graduate opportunities, universities will give the person with a high GPA, an opportunity to go to Graduate school more than a person with an average student and will probably offer to pay for that advanced degree.

5) Universities will give more opportunities to people with high GPA to work with graduate students and professor and be a part of research work, etc.

2. You will get on the Dean’s List (looks good on grad school or job applications)

3. The professors will notice you, therefore leading to good letters of recommendation
