Hey guys - was wondering your thoughts on how much your undergrad GPA and major matter for PE on-cycle. For context, at a semi-target (Mich LSA/NYU CAS) with a solid BB offer in a pretty top group.
Thinking about economics or poli sci, but could probably get a better GPA in poli sci. GPA would probably be a 3.7 in econ and 3.8/3.9 in poli sci.
