<p>abc, I want to make sure you understand the definition of a “top student.” A better term would actually be “top candidate”, for you don’t have to be a tip-top *student<a href=“i.e.%203.9+%20in%20LSA,%204.2+%20in%20Ross”>/I</a>, to be a top candidate. A top candidate is not simply someone with top grades. It is someone who has relevant internship experience (which is hard to come by). For example, a non-Ross student with a 3.7 GPA and “Sales & Trading Summer Analyst - Bank of America Merrill Lynch” on his resume will not have trouble getting noticed by Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. However, a non-Ross student with a 3.9 GPA who only has extracurricular club positions on his resume is not considered a top candidate, even though he is considered a top student, and will thus have a much harder time getting recognition. Work experience, no matter how obtained, trumps all.</p>
