[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interview a lot of college seniors every year and they all put their GPA on their resumes. I also look for it. [/quote]

But let me ask you this: would you say a 3.6 from say an Elon grad was better prepared to work for you than a 2.9 from say Georgetown? I just think there's a big difference in rigor and expectations across universities, so GPA can be hard to distinguish what a person can really do. When I look at candidates, I might consider GPA if it's there, but I look at where they graduated from and when. From there, can they write, can they communicate, are they weirdos?[/quote]

Nothing w a 2 is good no matter the school. I would say the 3.6 is better. The fact that you are at Georgetown 9or any school) is based on an AOs opinion of you. You were a random pick amongs thousands of similar apps. But the 2.9… that is on you. So the work is too hard for you, or you are working hard enough. The Elon kid is maximizing his opportunities.[/quote]
