<p>Is getting C in masters considered really bad? How could that affect your job hunt. Does the fact that I am from a top tier university alleviate the problem a little? What if I graduate with GPA of 3.09, will that be good for job hunt if I am from a top 10 program in engineering?</p>
<p>Also will this affect my chances of going to a good B school like stanford or columbia?</p>
<p>I don’t know about where you go, but I’m pretty sure where I go anything less than a B- is considered not passing for graduate degrees. Going off of that, I’m viewing a C for a graduate degree to be equivocal to getting a D or D- in undergrad. I’m not sure if that means anything outside of the context of the school though.</p>
<p>It depends on the school since grade inflation is higher at some schools than others. Technically, a C is considered average and shouldn’t be viewed too negatively.</p>
<p>Grad programs have specific GPA requirements. While a “C” is acceptable in undergrad, it is usually considered unacceptable in grad school. Many require a 3.0 in order to remain in the program.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response. But what does it mean in terms of job hunt? Will it look very bad? Will employers ask for transcripts?</p>
<p>Probably, so they can verify GPA. </p>
