Number vs Skills

Hello! With respect to your experiences, how important is university GPA in getting into the finance industry. I am not a strong writer, that I acknowledge, and because of that, I want to take some writing/philosophy courses to brush up on those skills. However, I am not expecting to expect a high GPA (Perhaps 60s-70s, given what I've heard about the difference between how teachers in high school mark and how profs in university mark, currently have a 92 after IB HL English, 6) To those who may have gone through this situation before or have some insight, would it be better to take those writing/phil courses, or would it be better to take courses in areas I am already strong in?
