"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nA new study reveals that being attractive boosts students' GPAs in high school. Hot students may not be at the top of the class, but \"the attractive do have a GPA advantage (over) the average,\" a researcher who conducted the study told the New York Daily News.The benefits of being hot in school don't necessarily carry over into post-college life. Caroline Heldman, an associate professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles, explains, \"Attractive women will get a benefit overall in occupations, but when you're talking about leadership positions, being sexually attractive actually works against you.\"The study also managed to confirm something we all knew (via USA Today):Those rated below average in looks in high school didn't suffer an overall disadvantage in terms of grades, compared with their average-looking peers. But the analysis notes that those rated by others as \"being on the ugly side of looks\" are more depressed and have fewer friends than those average in looks, both in high school and young adulthood.So less attractive people are less popular! Maybe next researchers will be able to confirm something else groundbreaking, like that fire is hot. Photo Credit: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
