I’ve hired more than 100 people in my career and I have NEVER cared about someone’s GPA in 20 years of building and leading teams. Experience trumps GPA every day of the week. Is the person volunteering, side hustling, stretching themself professionally? These are the things that matter most when you’re young and don’t have a ton of exp.
I had a 2.39 and am on the verge of being the youngest director I know. It’s all about finesse. Plus I had a rough time in college and didn’t really want to be there until the end.
Graduated with a 3.5 GPA and two full time internships under my belt , I knew the recruiter at Deloitte from a scholarship opportunity that I previously applied for
3.59
3.7 :: double major biomedical and electrical engineering / math minor.
Would also love to chat! Finishing PhD in Biomed Engineering and hoping to transition into consulting as an advanced degree candidate
I had a 3.8 GPA never even bothered to put it on my resume. I was advised that in business it’s unnecessary whereas in engineering it’s more relevant. I found a corporate job without issue and never included my GPA when I finished my master in Project Management either.
My resume did have 3 years experience as a project administration and scheduling consultant upon graduation.
I had 3.7 in Electrical Engineering, but it was my COOP experience at NASA that provided more opportunities.
4.0
Looks like I have one of the lower ones. I got my BFA 2 years ago with a 2.4 and my first job was $78k as a design consultant. Most employers don’t care about the GPA (don’t even put it if you don’t have to). I got my job due to the effort I put into my portfolio/passion projects.
2.4 and in the bottom 10 (not 10%) from a service academy. No one ever asked in the 25 years since I graduated.
I had a 3.36, first job is at EY! But I did have 3 internships and I was in charge of recruitment for my sorority and then entire school, and then I also held another leadership position
3.01 - also a SCM major
3.25; I have the same background as your friend. For me, a referral from a random alumni that I found on linkedin got me an interview, and from there it was based on personality and how I approached the case interview. As long as you make the minimum cutoff you should be good!
Graduated with a 3.9 and a year earlier, no job offers or internship offers. My college offered little networking opportunities. Graduated grad school with a 3.7 had one job offer. Maybe I’m an outlier, not sure
Industry experience.
The best advice I’ve heard is don’t list your GPA at all. Not everyone excels in environments like school. People with high GPAs aren’t always the best with collaboration and team work. How well you met metrics for standardized grading does not always indicate how an individual will perform in the position. Emphasize the work experience, qualifications and traits one can bring to the position, and have good references to back it up. If GPA gets brought up as a question 3.3 is still above a B average. Any company focusing solely on grades is probably not one you’d want to work for anyways.
“3.0” networked a lot and good interviewer. If they had a good co op they should have no problem
3.4 from non target, had a 3.9 in grad school so that’s the only number I would report in applications/on my resume lol.
Grades don’t matter for the most part, the top firms in tech/consulting/banking hire based on other reasoning
At the time of applying and receiving an offer from where I work now, I had a 3.48 cumulative GPA. I was offered the full-time position at the end of fall quarter. By the time I graduated, I earned a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Got my B.S. in information systems.
3.8 dual degree in industrial engineering and statistics. Got into functional consulting gig at pwc right after graduating
2.9 cGPA from non target undergrad, 75k when I started
I just graduated with a 3.9 in Biochem. After attending a couple of my university’s career fairs, I was able to make some good connections. They helped advocate for me within the company, and I think that helped land me an interview.
Hope that helps!
