Sam, I guess “slacker” was the wrong word there. What I meant is that there is always going to be a normal distribution of GPAs and some people have to be at the bottom.

This is not completely relevant to the thread, but I’m hoping this will answer some questions for those who search for “MMSS”.

Here’s what you can do WITH MMSS:

“In my admittedly target major, 70% of my 35-40 classmates went into i-banking in front office roles…about 80% in chicago. The balance went into management consulting at bain/bcg etc. If you are a strong student (3.4+ in a decent major) you can get a front office job at some type i-bank (yes small boutiques account for a large portion of this general statement). A 3.6-3.7+ will get you an interview at most, if not all, bulge brackets. I had a 3.7 and had [available to me] 8 interviews in i-banking, another 8 in consulting, and 4 in trading, senior year.”
