[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe a decade after graduation, who knows. But, try getting an internship during college with a 2.9 as a business major.[/quote]

The kid with the 2.9 GPA who is in the same fraternity or on the same lacrosse team as the CEO was will get the internship over the 4.0 kid every day.  The 2.9 kid will also have a large group of friends similarly connected who will prove to be helpful throughout his career.[/quote]
PP. My business kid has somewhere around a 3.3 as a junior at a school in the back end of the T100. Too much fraternity activity during freshman and sophomore years. He has finally buckled down and is getting much better grades this semester, but he is struggling to get an internship. His resume is likely not making it past GPA filters. Sure, his fraternity brothers will be there for him one day, but right now they too are struggling to get internships if they didn't study hard the first two years. Just saying, this is what it looks like on the ground, right now.[/quote]
Yep. OP is relying too much on frat and the bro culture in thinking that a C student will get great internships.[/quote]
