How can an average student ever get a perfect 4.0 G.P.A? How can I earn good grades for all of my classes? Well the good news is that it is possible for an average student to earn good grades and thus also earn the perfect 4.0 G.P.A that every student is dreaming about. Today with hard economic times and lots of unemployed people, graduating from schools/ universities with an average G.P.A is not enough to get you an entry level job. When you’re graduating nowadays, you may be competing with 100,000 applicants (undergraduate, graduate students, and experienced unemployed professionals) nationwide for a single job opening. So the questions will be “How am I going to differentiate myself among the crowd to get hired?” I would say that work experience is no longer enough, since there are many of unemployed experienced job applicants are hunting for jobs. Graduating from a reputable universities may give you an edge, but a 4.0 G.P.A certainly distinguish your resume among the crowd especially if combined with some related work experience and related academic background.
To get a 4.0 G.P.A you don’t need to be a genius. In fact, all you need are hard-work and persistence. The difference between a genius/ smart students and an average student is that it may takes shorter amount of study time for a smart student to get an A, whereas it may take a longer study time for an average student to get an A. What matters is that you get an A and thus that 4.0 G.P.A at the end of the quarter or semester. Of course you need to make tradeoffs if you’re an average student wanting to get a 4.0 G.P.A; tradeoffs such as: studying hard over the weekend instead of partying, listen to class lectures attentively, be actively participate in class discussion, read textbook/ class materials ahead of the schedule, and so on. A 4.0 student has a clear objective (e.g. get an A) and always relentlessly work hard to earn his/her objective by the end of the term.
Don’t trust people that say you can’t get a 4.0 G.P.A! They’re just telling you a lie. Anyone can get a 4.0 G.P.A and there is no secret formula in getting that perfect grades. The key elements, as we all know, are HARD WORK and PERSISTENCE. Recently I conduct interviews with many top executives enrolled in the Executive MBA programs at my school. Almost all of these executives agree on one point, “A student with a 4.0 G.P.A shows courage, hard-work ethics and intelligence; these attributes are what we’re essentially looking for when hiring new employees.”

I think a 4.0 GPA really does matter, especially in times like these, with the bad situation of the economy and the difficulty in finding employment. A 4.0 GPA widens your choices, and definitely does generate a greater income. Also, I definitely do agree that getting a 4.0 GPA can be stressful, but if a person is able to overcome it, then the person is really worth being respected and acknowledged.
I’m 16 years of age, and I have a goal of achieving that 4.0 GPA. Definitely am willing to work my butt off. I’ve visualized what it’d be like if I obtain it, and that’s what is keeping me motivated and determined.
