I think it was around a 3.2 or 3.3. BSBA in Accounting. I got all A's and B's once I got into Business School classes, and like 90% A's in my actual Accounting classes. There were a few C's sprinkled in there in Physics, History, Lit, and maybe something else. Classes I didn't really care about. All I had to do was maintain a 3.0 to keep my full scholarship, so I didn't kill myself on Western Civ II or English Lit just to get a B.

I graduated with almost exactly a 3.4 at every educational level- high school, undergrad BS in Banking and Finance, JD, tax LLM. I was really good at figuring out the least amount of work necessary to get 2 A's and 3 B's

This would be more fun if we included current salaries too.

3.0 on the nose. My GPA was absolutely horrible, below a 2.0, after 5 semesters of not having my shite together. When I interview I pretty proudly tell them about where I was and pulled myself out of the depths and it really worked. It's refreshing to hear someone own their past while most people try to hide it.
Is it important? Depends on if the recruiter or person conducting the interview has a brain or not. GPA has no correlation to how good someone will be in the work place in the vast majority of cases. We pass on people that come in flaunting their 3.5 just because they don't have a lick of work experience, not even doing a simple unrelated job while in college.
Some people, their only selling point is their GPA and that is a major red flag.

B.S. in math with physics minor in 1976, gpa of 2.7. Fi you were 2.5 or above in the 1970s you were good to go, a 3.2 would get you in medical school. Grade inflation today is rampant, I have taught enough college level classes to know the students are not any smarter than in the past. My graduating class has around 500 people, there was only one person with a 4.0 and less than two dozen or so that were honor graduates. Went to many graduations in the late 70s including a couple at LSU, grade distribution was very similar.

3.9something BA History
This was SLU, mind you, so it can realistically be downgraded to about a 3.2, amirite?

3.08 B.S. in Accounting
I had like a 2.6 GPA my final 3 semesters combined because some of my classes were hard as hell and I had some family issues going on.

GPA: 2.23 in Chemical Engineering (graduated in '13)
Broke six figures in 2015.
So it can't be that relevant.

If you take out the four semesters where I was a raging alcoholic and my mom was being treated for cancer... Over a 3.5
If you don't, 2.01
Which I'm actually kind of proud of

Undergrad GPA doesn't mean shite as long as it is good enough to get you in Grad School, that you have another gear to kick into and that when in Grad School you do kick into that higher gear.
