Whatever keeps you happy. Not sure why everyone is so bamboozled. No one care about GPA. Work and school are 2 entirely different ballgames.

3.02 here. Dad is not a partner.

I had a 3.34 but also worked multiple jobs/internships paying my way through school. Would have probably been at least a 3.5 but I had 1-2 really nasty professors along the way.
