[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] As much as some people would like it to be true -- this is no longer true at any "corporate" place. Big 4, Big law, Banking, S&P500. Now what would be true is that the kid with the 3.5 or 3.7 who has those connections gets the job over the 4.0. Connections still work but you have to be in the ballpark or it is a no go. [/quote]
