Going to be working for MTS Health Advisors and might be attempting to make the move to a BB/EB either after SA or some time into FT. How much does GPA matter, should I enjoy the rest of my time at school or is there a cutoff I should aim for?

Cant speak to the importance of the GPA, but I don’t see why you can’t let loose and have a good time without shooting for a high GPA.
True i just dont give a fuck about school anymore

Get a decent GPA. 3.5+ would be solid. 3.7 above would do the trick and you wont need to sweat it anymore
Full-time recruiting is so insanely competitive that GPA can be used as a filter pretty quick. There's not an exact number out there, but when I'm going through FT resumes, if there's 50+ people applying all with IB internships, it's very easy to cut those with under 3.7. Bar is lower for SA.
damnit really. Ok so heres the deal I am going to be at a boutique and want to make the move to a BB/EB. How difficult is that when you say FT is incredibly competitive? Like a good boutique tho, think FTPartners.
