Dutchy_Bunch" It seems like you just need a final semester as a motivational factor for studies. LOL! I would say maintain your grades. It does not hurt mentioning your accomplishment like Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude on your CV rather than those mere numbers as GPA. While applying for a job, they did not ask me for a GPA, but I mentioned few honors I received during my college years as of "Laude" things and the member of bla,bla association, or the president or vp of bla bla organization. In the United States, they look for other areas besides your grades. A friend of mine did her undergrad in philosophy, but she is doing her MD now, which according to her was a plus point among many pre-med candidates. Sure, she might have aced that major. Just focus on what you are doing! Best of Luck Q
