Do you consider a cumulative GPA to be an equal reflection of accomplishment and intelligence, or lean towards it being more of one or the other?
For instance, at my high school, we considered and were told by some teachers a 3.0 is average and a 3.5 is above average. I graduated with a 3.3, but in my shame, I wouldn't want people to think I graduated with a 2.3 (as being slightly above average)!
