If you have to study 100 hrs a week and you're not going to MIT, you're doing something really wrong. And unless its a technical field, no one's going to care what your GPA is. There just isn't enough demand for English lit majors to need GPA as a differentiator.

To have the dedication to study 100 hours a week voluntarily for anything, really shows you picked the wrong major. With that sort of dedication you could excel at anything, even something you're not naturally gifted at.
