What’s your point? Nearly every school on that list is better than UNC Charlotte ;).

First you should understand a simply cross section of all the analysts in a large firm is useless because there are great differences in offices, departments and groups.

Secondly, while I gave you one example I have seen, I have heard of a number of other instances where an individual with a low GPA has made it. For recruiting, your school is much more important than your GPA. Of course, having a 4.0 at Harvard in applied Physics will probably be helpful but I would put my money on the 3.0 from a recruited school than the 4.0 at a non recruited one simply because s/he will have to attract the attention of recruiters on her own (which is a challenge indeed).
