I am pursuing my MBA at one of the top 3 MBA colleges in Canada. As fall recruiting approaches, MBB jobs listings are popping up on the college's recruiting website. Unlike US schools, the Canadian business schools do release the grades to the companies. How strict are MBBs on filtering out the candidates on the basis of grades?

Perhaps under 10 MBA’s from the Canadian MBA’s? Not really worth the bet for almost the same price for Rotman Ivey and queens

Just say which school bro, it's either Queen's, Rotman or Ivey

Not MBB but we do filter based on GPA cutoff (B4 MC). It’s almost necessary to start to sort through hundreds of applications. Unfortunately the chances are someone has comparable experience and met the cutoff.

Quite strict. Below 3.7 it can be difficult to get an interview unless you’ve got a ton of other things going for you. It’s one of the few real datapoints we have on you - anyone can make a resume sound good - so we tend to use GPA fairly heavily.

like

A lot. It’ll be one of the main filters they use. Another will be your GMAT score.

We look at the full picture. If you have great experience grades matter less.
I would say you might struggled in the bottom ~25%. It would be discussed.

I think Canadian schools are tough barring Rotman..there are quite a few rotman partners and I swear I saw an analysis somewhere

Came from a Canadian school…currently recruit from Canadian schools…candidates send their transcripts…

What is the difference between an illegal Hiring Hall Agreement & Software Certification?
For example, a software company issues its own certification that its partners enforce as a requirement to work in the industry by searching that software's website for ensure applicants have certification.
