Keeping your grades Up for the future by Brittany Waugh

An important component of doing good in your career starts from the bases of your performance in college. A lot of companies, depending on your major, look at how well you did in college. Grades and GPA matter just as much as they did in college. Especially, if you decide to proceed on with a career as a doctor or a lawyer. Mostly all graduate schools look at your school GPAs to find out how well you did and how serious you are about the profession. When it comes to law schools, pick a major you think fits you best. "While philosophy, economics, and journalism majors were admitted to law school at rates of 82, 79, and 76 percent, respectively, those numbers were much lower for prelaw (61 percent) and criminal justice (52 percent) majors, according to LSAC, which administers the LSAT." (Wecker para 6). 
Keeping focus is a big part of keeping your grades up. Time management and keeping focus is an important factor in keeping your grades up while you are in college. You have to keep a balance between your social life, academics and sleep. " Although actual requirements vary, most graduate admissions committees typically expect applicants to have GPAs from 3.0–3.3 for master’s programs and from 3.3–3.5 for doctoral programs. " (PHD Student Para 2).
