One grade doesn't hurt you, nor does it reflect a lot in life.

But seriously, thanks. I needed that.

I've got one Asian parent as well so I understand.

I gotta say, my GPA isn't great, and some schools will reflect that, but I'm happy in knowing I'm going to graduate from the 33rd rank school in the entirety of the US. I'm going to feel accomplished for all my friends and the things that I've done. The Fraternities that I'm in and help develop, and the clubs that I help out at reflect upon me. And most importantly, I'm graduating with all my connections through classes and work. And while my GPA is still mediocre, my contacts and recommendation letters are stellar.

Point: GPA is just one aspect, come 20 years down the road, no one is going to give a flying fuck what your GPA is in college, they want to know what you have done with your life.
