<p>Yeah I was specifically referring to entry level positions/securing your first job upon graduation. To be more specific - gaining entry level positions with large companies that require a min GPA even to interview. For those situations it really doesn’t matter who you know because they receive so many applicants they have to eliminate candidates some way. I know that even after a few years of professional work that GPA isn’t really important when progressing.</p>
