[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.7 is hardly a low GPA.[/quote] It’s low in a humanities major at a school with a good amount of grade inflation. [/quote] No, it isn’t. It may be middle of the pack at an elite/highly competitive school. But it’s certainly not a GPA that would lead a potential employer to doubt the brains or work ethic of a job candidate. So your sophomore didn’t get a summer internship during COVID. That’s not a sign that s/he’ll be unemployable at graduation. Lots of workplaces don’t do internships even during ordinary times. [/quote] I personally wouldn’t hire OP’s kid absent something else that shows solid work ethic (i.e. varsity athlete, amazing extracurricular leadership, personal connection, prior good internship experience). The average grade at Harvard is an A minus, and the average GPA for Harvard grads in the class of 2021 (or was it 2020? I forget) is a 3.8. And that’s including STEM majors. [/quote]
