[quote=Anonymous]I've been saying this for years. My solid B student (with some A's and 2 C's) had no issues getting into several great schools - JMU, FSU, WVU, UCSD, and Pittsburgh. He picked WVU because they offered him the best package. He graduated with a petroleum engineering degree from WVU last May and went right to work making 6-figures. The work you do in college and the connections you make while there are what matter the most. He formed connections with his most important professors and TAs in the engineering department and followed through each time they posted about or told the class about internships. He had good internships every summer and parlayed his last internship into a job offer upon graduation. Did he get into his top choice of VT? No. Was he bummed? Sure. But his work ethic proved more valuable than name recognition for his success. [/quote]
