Marshall? Leventhal? Econ?

It is possible to get a 60K+ salary out of Marshall with under a 3.5 GPA, but like eRudit3 stated, it is most likely due to connections. Fortunately, USC isn’t one of those schools where success is purely dependent on connections. There are idiots who get great jobs due to their father’s success or being connected to an important person, but the whole GPA thing really shouldn’t deter you that much. Even if your GPA is like a 3.1, the job you get will still be pretty decent.

If you’re worried about getting into law school, but need something to fall back on, then i’d suggest going for the regular business admin. degree. You’ll have a degree to fallback on, and you won’t be put through as much stress as the accounting students.

It is quite the feat to get A’s/A-'s in all your BUAD classes or even 80% of them, but that shouldn’t discourage you from getting a degree from Marshall. Hard work usually pays off (not neccessarily in Organizational Behavior or Business Stats) and you should end up with pretty good grades at the end of your college career. Good enough to get you into law school. It’s all based on how much you really want to put into your college education and your future.
