Does GPA really not matter after you get the interview?
Does GPA really not matter after you get the interview? Cause I swear it does. And I'm not talking about 3.6 vs 3.8. I'm talking about when you have a 3.0-3.3 range GPA...
GPA cut off for PE
I'm a senior who just got a BB offer and have a 3.7 right now from a semi target. Interviews really took a toll and in the worst case scenario I'll end the school year w/ a 3.6. Do PE firms care or is it one of those things where work experience and a 3.5+ cutoff makes you pass the first test?
Transcript (Not a cheating question!)
Hi everyone, My official transcript only lists cum GPA, which is significantly lower than my major GPA.

Alright so my physics GPA is a 3.91, but (yes better believe it) my cumulative GPA is a 3.2.

Settling a retarded "prestige" issue bet
Magna cum Laude vs. Summa cum Laude: does it matter? both check the box, right? so an applicant with one has 0 advantage from this over another, if they are from the same target? Not to sound defensive but Magna > Summa in the sense that the person was not a total grade whore.

4.0 grad from Harvard, now working at blockbuster video
Wow. I know the economy was rough in 2008, but this is just ridiculous. She's going to pepperdine law school this upcoming fall; with her grades, she could've gotten into harvard law, assuming her LSAT score was remotely decent. I guess a psychology degree at Harvard doesn't amount to much these...
"Major GPA" is subjective...
I got into this conversation with my friend the other day and I kind of want to get WSO's opinion of it.

GPA Question - Cumulative GPA or Adjusted GPA?

Does B-School GPA Matter?
Do banks (or any other employers, really) care about your Business School GPA? Or does it only matter that you were good enough to get into XYZ School?
