<p>Just out of curiosity, someone told me that regardless of how low your GPA might be (ofc not extremely low...), you'll still most likely get a job since a lot employers favor Berkeley title...</p>
<p>How true is that? Just wondering since people been telling me this same thing over and over again...</p>
<p>sounds right to me…i mean who would U want to hire if you were just a regular boss? the kid who got a 3.0 from UC BERKELEY or a 3.5 from SF State? What would you rather get for free, a cheap purse or a luxurious Louis Vuitton handbag? the name is all that counts…</p>
<p>depends on your major. I read a story on huffpo about some berkeley grad who was 23k in debt and had to live in some weird warehouse with his friends, all of whom were berkeley grads, and i think had crappy jobs.</p>
<p>generally, it’s not what college you go to, but what you do in college that gets you things like jobs (e.g. internships)</p>
<p>You guys are in for a rude awakening if you think just going to Berkeley will get y</p>
<p>If you have 3.0 in EECS and a 3.0 in underwater basket weaving are drastically different.</p>
<p>I have friends who have $90k+ offers from EECS with a 3.0-ish GPA + good work experience at a good company. </p>
<p>However, there are 3.8-4.0 GPA graduation from sociology etc that can’t find a good job. </p>
<p>So… I guess GPA doesn’t matter as much as your work experience and major.</p>
<p>@demoz, I’m mainly asking since I was curious. </p>
<p>Seems like starry summarized everything pretty well :P!</p>
