<p>I realize the importance of having good work/internship experience, but how much does a students' GPA matter for those graduating from NYU Stern in terms of placing into the TOP IB and BB companies? Are the kids who get job offers only those who were the superstars in the classrooms and get good GPA's? </p>
<p>Or does GPA not matter as much, and people with 3.0s-3.4's and such also have a good shot at those firms?</p>
<p>Stern is a school where 3.0-3.4 kids have the ability to do really really well post graduation (Getting all type of finance roles including ER, AM & PM, IB, S&T,etc.) because of the ability to network and do internships throughout the semesters. When you graduate from Stern - you will pretty much have an amazing resume and an amazing network provided you took advantage of everything that Stern has to offer as well as it’s location in NYC. 3.0 - 3.4 students can definitely still land top IB and BB companies if they network well. But those students can easily fare better than the 3.0-3.4 students of other schools because of all the boutiques and MM firms that recruit at Stern. </p>
