The college GPA is dead.
My eyes have been opened to how AI is reshaping college learning. Based on a conversation today with 5 Deepwater interns (all rising juniors), here are 7 takeaways.Bottom line: Employers hiring college grads should flat out ignore the GPA. Actually, they should hire the low GPA student because they likely invested more into strengthening their critical thinking. 1. College isn’t really about learning anymore. AI frees up time for life experiences, friends, working out, the pool, partying, and extracurriculars. It’s about the fun and the experience.2. The prevailing mindset is simple: You need a degree to get the job, so the goal is getting the degree as easy as possible, maximize the fun, and figure out the rest later.3. The entire system is built around grades. GPA is everything, and students will do whatever it takes to protect it.4. Even students who were initially morally opposed to using AI eventually give in, they have to stay competitive with everyone else who is.5. It doesn’t seem to bother them that most are completely indistinguishable from one another. No one stands out. The reason is grades matter.6. The majority of their homework, all writing, math, accounting, reading reflections, and summaries, is completed with AI.7. Cheating on tests in class room is widespread. While most tests are still in-class, on paper, and multiple choice, students in bigger lecture halls (50+ people) quietly pull up an LLM on their phone and snap a photo of the question whenever the professor isn’t looking.Source: Gene Munster
