That sounds like..you didn't pay attention to how you round decimals...

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

The reason M&I suggests it is because it is the best thing for an applicant who has a borderline GPA to do. Sure it's kinda disingenuous, but as an applicant your priority is to get the job.

 

I really don't see how this makes sense. If we're just going to make up our own rounding rules with the hope that they don't verify, might as well just fabricate your GPA completely.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
