[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hope this scandal reminds hiring managers and graduate school admissions reps everywhere: don't be too impressed if an applicant comes from an Ivy League school. They might have come through the front door, but they might have come through the back door, as a legacy, big donor, or athlete.[/quote] Don't employers already know this? [b]Can't they tell based on the transcript of grades?[/b][/quote] Because of rampant grade inflation and the desire for higher graduation rates, they may not be able to tell. I have no doubt that Lori Loughlin's air-headed daughters would have gotten degrees from USC, despite being, well, airheads.[/quote] Many employers don’t even look at grades. The school and its brand/reputation resonate more w/ employers. Undergraduate grades are more important for grad school.[/quote]
