[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] Many places ask for transcripts, along with resumes. How do you get around that?[/quote] Apply to places that don't. I'm not saying that the people with better grades and honors won't have an easier time, but the bottom 10% of the class at an elite will be just fine if they want to be.[/quote]
