[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As some PP mentioned, GPAs should be near the bottom of the priority list, unless you go to law or med school. Connections and networking should be the number one priority on the list, because they will get you jobs after graduation. My Ivy kids learned that too late.[/quote] As someone whose kid graduated from a “regional” university, yet is making $110k in their first banking job out of college, I disagree. Maybe to pp’s point, it does not matter if you are at an Ivy. But for kids chasing merit at “less than” schools and looking to make six figures upon graduating, you better at minimum have close to a 4.0 in your major with your full GPA not much below that. [/quote] The GPA reference was for top schools. Agree GPA is crucial (along with networking and all the other things mentioned) for many other schools.[/quote]
