-: I don't think the professors are gonna like to hear this,
but it's not all about the grades.
I feel like coming to NJIT,
everybody was so worried about ugh,
I need this A, I need this A,
I need this 3.9, I need this 4.0.
It's not all about the grades.
And although yes, they are very important,
I feel like,
taking advantage of everything else
that NJIT offers is critical as well.
It's not just about the grades.
You have the grades, you don't have the connections,
you don't have the experiences,
being in the different professional organizations,
the different clubs, you're missing out on so much.
That's what made me, I truly believe,
a well-rounded candidate, because I had the grades,
although I may not have had a 4.0.
I had the experience with working with different people,
and that led me to where I am.
