Which level are we talking about? Highschool?
Finishing 9th grade I had a 3.0 average (5.0 being the max). After highschool (12th grade) I had a 16.0 average (out of 20.0). Now I'm currently at the University and have learned that high grades and ambition go together a lot more often that high grades and high intellect. Meaning that I've met people who've had bad grades but have excelled at the university. The opposite also applies, I've had classmates with a 19+ average who hasn't passed their classes at the University. My conclusion is that having bad grades doesn't really matter unless you need to get into a education that requires really good grades.
