Grades are pretty overrated, both for jobs and graduate school. I guess it also depends what discipline you are in. I think it is more about what you did than what you got? I do not know about other fields, but in life sciences, having prior research and lab experiences gives you hands down advantage over candidates who have 4.0 gpa. AND believe it or not, GRE is a mere formality. OF course, like thapap bro said above, it might hurt though if u do it poorly. SO, here's what I say: Slack off and enjoy your college life for you'll regret in grad school if u didn't :). Take some time off, have fun, sleep through classes and get back to studies. I mean..compared to Nepal's highschool, college is a piece of cake hoina ra? I wouldn't really worry about it if i were you. Thapap bro, any plans on going to the grill soon? i need some time off...haven't seen outside world for some time :).
