<p>Do you imply that using facebook gives a person more of a personality? That is ludicrous, and so the comment about personality is really quite irrelevant. </p>
<p>No, that’s not what I was implying. I’m implying that most companies want to hire people, not anti-social math robots. And I would say that the majority of “normal” college students have a facebook, because they are social… You nerds will learn that to have an effective interview or be successful in your respective career path, you must be social. Is facebook being social? Yes. But it is not the do all to being social, and that is not what I inteded to imply. </p>
<p>Could you provide the name of the company so I can avoid doing business with them? </p>
<p>I work at Allison Transmission. They (like most companies) don’t just want a whole bunch of dorks who can’t communicate their ideas. </p>
<p>I spend 1 hour/credit hour for gen eds. 1.5 hours/credit hour for math and engr classes. I have a 3.87 and an active social life. Its not about HOW MUCH you study but HOW you study. You just have to know how you make your studying the most efficient for you. It took a lot of experimenting my first semester but you’ll figure it out. </p>
<p>Totally agree. </p>
<p>Plenty of 3.5-4.0s with personality. Take ECE 477 and you’ll meet them 
</p>
<p>I’m not trying to say that high GPAs=no social life. But you don’t need to obsess over every little thing (like getting rid of facebook to study more) to get the highest GPA, because you can likely get an interview with a good GPA, but once you have an interview it is all about personality, experiences, & social skills.</p>
