What school with a good reputation would take someone with a low GPA especially when they put so much emphasis on their statistics? It doesn't mean that they are a bad student because doing poor in a couple classes can wreck your GPA. Why would you rack up debt going to a lower end school though? Your law degree/MBA from Northwestern Oklahoma State is worthless.
The more difficult problem is finding someone (much less three people) to write a good recommendation when you are a 2.0 student.
Schools only care about statistics. GPA and standardized tests are all that matter. B/c that's what determines their ranking, increases their funds, etc. The only time your damn personal statement or other bs actually matters is if you legitimately have a UNIQUE story to tell or you're neck and neck with another student and they need something to break a tie.

From what I've been seeing and hearing, this is basically the cut-off...3.0 or higher, your references, experience, etc.. will be the difference in whether or not you get a job..Under a 3.0 and you're gonna have a fairly difficult time finding a good positionOriginally Posted by E3LAL

I go to the McCombs School of Business, and they say to put it on if it is significantly higher.
They also said that most employers who look at us, require a 3.0 to get an interview.

Entrepreneurship major and marketing minor with a sales focus. I did two sales based summer internships with the company prior to getting hired.Originally Posted by Furrell
What was your major and did you have experience prior to getting the job? Reason why I ask is because the OP should know that the amount of experience you have in the field you want to get in will be taken over the GPA.Originally Posted by eLNiNo4530
Graduated with a 2.6
2 months later I got hired making $60k+
