No resume = not responding 99% of the time (exceptions: they were in the same business club I was in, a colleague referred them)
resume >3.6 gpa: higher likelihood of response, although exact likelihood is dependent on factors like school, major, campus involvements, past internships, how polite and well written their email is, how much time I have, etc
Hearing this help me out a lot. Thank you!
