These are some of my thoughts on the scholarship “GPA Isn’t Everything”
There are plenty of reasons why a student’s GPA isn’t everything. Let me begin by persuading you to believe that a GPA does not measure intelligence nor intellectual capability. One’s GPA simply allows early employers to identify who has been a good or poor test taker throughout his or her academic career.
The reason this can be a meager evaluation or assessment of one’s knowledge, and an insecurely structured way of measuring one’s potential, is the mere lack of substantial evidence that an individual is qualified or not to perform at an expected level of excellence. If placed in an employer’s shoes, would you want a 4.0 student with little information retention and a lack of communication skills, or the 2.5 student that can execute responsibilities to the highest standards? This may seem on the extreme end of this concept, but how many times is the more than capable “C” Student overlooked due to the inadequacies of the GPA based student appraisal?
The most successful person is going to be a well rounded individual with numerous competitive advantages, and the ability to articulate his/her strengths, weaknesses, and accomplishments. I feel that my GPA is not sufficiently representative of the value level I have attained as a student, but furthermore it is composed of the involvement I contribute to my school and community. To put it simply, my GPA isn’t everything.
