<p>It depends on the recruiting process.</p>
<p>For campus recruiting the first round of cuts will be based off of competition between yourself and other students. Usually they’ll have alumni that choose a handful of applicants to take with them to the next round. At the campus stage, your GPA of course matters but relative to your class mates–even at a harder school the median GPA might be shifted. </p>
<p>Of course once you make it past the campus rounds (assuming this is a full time offer) I don’t feel that your GPA/school matter as much. There is more an emphasis on how you fit with the company and your interviews.</p>
<p>On the other hand if you apply to a company through their website, I’m not particularly sure, but your school/GPA might matter since it could go to some nameless HR recruiter.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most important component associated with your school is WHO comes there to recruit. You could have a strong GPA but if recruiters don’t come to your school at all, you’ll have a harder time getting the job.</p>
