GPA requirments/summer networking
I just finished my sophomore year at at a midrange target school (think Duke, Vanderbilt, Michigan type schools) and I am would like to get a solid consulting internship for next summer. I am majoring in mechanical engineering and double minoring in finance and mathematics, but only have a 3.3 GPA after my first two years. I got killed by some prerecs but my mechE gpa is 3.7 and my finance gpa is also 3.7. I have had 2 very solid internships at large companies and have started my own business that had a 30k revenue last year. So basically I have 3 questions:
- Will my GPA hurt me too much to get a job at MBB, Deloitte, Accenture, ect?
- If so, how can I network early (like this summer) to help make up for the lower GPA.
- Can I write Mechanical Engineering: 3.7, Finance 3.7 and leave off my overall GPA from my resume?
My friend got a McK interview with a 3.3. Its possible but very difficult. In his case, he heard back very last about his interview and had already received recommendations from a partner and two BA's.
With big 4, assuming you're at a target, its easier to get an interview with a 3.3 but the networking also has to be on point and even with good internships, activities, and connections the best you can hope for is about 50% of interviews.
This is all based off my experience at a target school (US NEWS 10 - 15).
