<p>Specifically I'm referring to business jobs in large corporate settings. Before anyone laughs condescendingly, business classes are hard, or at least maybe just the ones I happen to be taking. I keep hearing that employers don't factor GPA all that much and say the cutoff is like a 3.0, but still I'm curious how much would a fairly large corporation weigh that on a scale of 1-10 in giving out internships or jobs to recent grads?</p>
<p>My GPA already isn't stellar but it's above 3.0 and i did well in business classes so far. But recently I'm struggling in one or two business classes this semester and I'm getting nervous of how big a hole I just fell in. I'm not planning to transfer out or anything like that but I want to know if it's something really serious I need to take care of now or kind of put to the side and focus on othe things.</p>
<p>@TheFallenOne In my 20+ years of working and changing number of jobs no one has ever asked to see any of my Diplomas, let alone ask for my GPA. The only company that ever asked to see my Diploma was a Chinese Company. This may just have to do with the Culture rather than anything else.</p>
<p>You planning to work for a Chinese Company? Get ready to navigate the waters of a whole new culture :)</p>
<p>I am not sure how much weight is placed on Graded when it comes to Internships, but I am pretty sure your potential employer will want to know.</p>
<p>It’s very important but depends on what you are looking for. If you want to go into investment banking you need at least a 3.5, most resumes below that are automatically discarded. 3.7 for a solid shot. And you need at least one internship, preferably with a bulge bracket bank, and extracurricular leadership.</p>
<p>If you want to work at some no name shop then it probably doesn’t matter.</p>
