Do Latin honors matter for recruiting for 2nd & 3rd jobs?
Hey all, I'm currently at a target/semi-target school and have a solid job lined up at a newer MM/UMM fund out of school. With a month and half left my GPA is right on the cusp of the magna cum laude / cum laude cutoff. Is it worth spending a decent amount of time and effort to get the magna distinction or can I just enjoy the rest of my senior year and not stress about it too much? I'm likely going to spend at least two years at my job, but curious is anyone knows how much PE firms consider the distinctions when interviewing candidates for associate positions.
Really dont think its a big deal. You are already Cum Laude. I wouldn't stress. Enjoy your last semester of college.
You know the criteria varies a lot by school right. In any case, I was Phi Beta Kappa and Magna but literally nobody has called it out or mentioned it in any interviews.
Only thing that matter is 1) Phi Beta Kappa and 2) summa cum laude in that order
FWIW, most people keep latin honors on their website bios well into their 30s or 40s. Does anyone sit there and notice the guy who doesn't have it - of course not - but it doesn't just float off into the ether
That said I think magna vs cum laude is a very small difference and not something to fret over whether people will judge you for it. I would probably hustle just because it would annoy me to be that close, but no one in PE is going to ding a resume that only says cum laude (assuming your GPA is still like 3.7+ and you're at a school that does latin by %)
they do so don't even try to play it off. I already called the PE firms (all of them) and told them about this, they said to not even bother applying btw. it's literally over for you before it began.
Tell me you go to ND w/o telling me you go to ND
If it’s a bad school, then I feel like it’s a bad look if you’re not magne.
Idk if it’s just me, but I always laugh when I see people from college (non-target, not known for its academics) posting that they graduated cum laude. Like bruh, who you bragging to.
But tbh who cares about graduating magne cum laude from a bad school either.
