From what I’ve read on indeed.com, at the lower tier colleges, the candidate needs higher GPA. For example, if the candidate is from SJSU, he/she needs higher than 3.6 to be hired at some desirable companies. Even one candidate claimed he went to a USC but with low GPA like 3.1, he was interviewed and came very close to the offer but in the end, the job was not offered because of his low GPA. I don’t know how much truth there is to believe, but that’s what I’ve read on a small samples of people on some job boards.
