[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, it's hard to get bad grades at an elite school due to grade inflation.

Second, if you have an HYPS degree, no one cares about your grades. I've literally never put my GPA on a resume. I wasn't advised to do so by our career office, and I find it very odd when people do it.

Basically, unless you include it on your resume, no one hiring you knows where you ranked in your class. And at least at my undergrad, the only signifier of rank was whether you were Phi Beta Kappa or not.[/quote]

when did you go through recruiting at HYPS?

even at H, the banks and consulting firms ask for gpa during resume drops. there are def cut offs for initial screenings[/quote]

NP, I also landed a wall street job/investment banking after graduation and did not disclose my GPA or class ranking. HR didn't ask for a transcript.  This was the late 90s so maybe it is different now. [/quote]

Same here. I wonder how many of us there are. [/quote]
