Hey everyone,

I live in Calgary and I'm currently taking University Entrance Option at Mount Royal University and then planning on getting into the BBA program (Bachelor of Business Administration) this fall. I have taken some business-related courses and some GNED courses so far. Last semester I had a business course and a GNED course and had a overall GPA of 3.5 (out of 4) after those two classes.

Now as I take more classes and look ahead at my next 4+ years at Uni, I'm wondering, does my overall GPA (of every single course I've ever taken at Uni) matter when I have my degree? For instance, will it help me with getting a good job in Accounting? (I plan on Majoring in Accounting).

I've been wondering about this a lot, because I've been hearing a lot of stories about how overall GPA matters (according to some) and how it doesn't matter (according to others). It has made me unsure if I should put in a lot of effort in my classes this semester or minimal effort (I have two GNED classes and one Business class this semester).
