Importance of the College GPA

Thanks for all the replies. Its basically what I thought it would be. GPA doesn't really matter much as long as its above a 3.0 and extra-curricular are everything. Though I am hating doing them. With the chemistry probably organic I'm not to sure. I'm ok with lab work but I dont like wearing gloves to do it. And I dont want to teach or do hospital stuff either. Maybe pharmacy but I'd rather that not be my first option.

As for math, I want applied. Its seems more applicable (pun intended) Which gives me an easier time to wrap my head around.

It saddens me when people say they hate doing extracurriculars, volunteer work, etc., and only do them for the sake of building a resume. If I could make a suggestion, I'd say be creative and think outside-the-box for potential opportunities that are still related to your fields of interest, but that you actually feel passionately about. For example, I have a friend studying Chemistry who studied abroad in Germany and worked for Bayer while there; and with math, you could do pretty much anything dealing with numbers, like working an accounting internship for Warner Bros. or another film studio, or as a trend forecaster for a PR firm.

The best part about related but clearly distinct opportunities like these is that they fulfill what Panacea was mentioning above: doing something similar to, but different and unique enough from other candidates to set yourself apart from the rest of the pack. For example, if your dream is to pursue a PhD in mathematics to become a professor, applying to grad programs with an accounting internship like the one above would show that you're (a) ambitious and successfully competitive in securing a position likely applied to by hundreds, (b) bring a fresh perspective to academia through cultivation in Hollywood, © developed social and communication skills, invaluable in any candidate for any job in the 21st century, by working in a fast-paced industry, while (d) continuing to develop your mathematics abilities by applying them in a real world setting.

And that (a-d) list was literally mind vomitted off the top of my head in about 5 minutes using a brainstormed example.

So long story short for everyone, find out what you really love and want to do in this world, and find a way to connect it to other aspects of your life. Chances are, they all will, as you're passionate about each of them after all. Hell, if I can flesh out aspects of my education in Medical Microbiology & Immunology that make me a better candidate for the fashion industry, any of y'all can do it.
