In a pickle.... Does graduate school matter for Chem E, & should I apply to prestigious schools?

Supposedly you got 3.0 GPA from a barely accredited university’s BS where your admission was automatic as long as you could pay (I guess it would be more common for Business degree than ChemE degree but let’s just do it for the sake), and the employer you want to apply wouldn’t give you an interview.

Probably the most common cut-off GPA for employers deciding which college students to interview is 3.0. So the college student with a 3.01 GPA is likely to have far more interview opportunities than the college student with a 2.99 GPA.
