Tenisghs, at elite colleges today a 3.3 is not a good GPA. I have a pile of resumes on my desk add none has lower than a 3.5, and those go in the circular file unless something else is extraordinary. I’d say a 3.5 is median at any ivy.

Johu, 3-5 years is typical. What B schools (and later the employers) want is to see how you grow in an organization. We hire those who in 3-5 years took on increasing responsibility for people and budgets or contributed significantly strategically.

I don’t hire at Anderson and their program may look for different things, but employers with elite jobs want experience unless you bring something unusual.

Great jobs are going to be hard to come by for a few years, so time in them may go up.
