GPA is important, but it is not the only factor that your potential employers would consider. Companies are willing to hire people with rich experience in the related industries. And for American companies, community service, campus activities and volunteer works are also very important.
Besides, you should also be working on your interpersonal skills, language proficiency, and professional skills. Always be prepared!
Good luck to everyone!
