I have a 3.6 GPA as an Econ Concentrator at an HYP. Disappointed on how low it is, so do you have any advice on how to best position myself for BB recruiting?

Yes bruh
Only if you network really hard tbh
Are you kidding? Know numerous people at HYP who had 3.2-3.3 who got BB/EB offers.
Is this satire?
It isn't. I was worried because a lot of kids from my school have pretty high GPAs and get hosed from all the BBs. Just seeking advice on what to do better!
They're probably failing their interviews. A high GPA at Harvard means shit if you can't even be bothered to learn what a DCF is.
I've heard both the rockstars (top 10%) and bottom dwellers (don't know how to use excel) come from Ivy's.
