<p>I’ve worked for mostly large companies in the last 25 years. I’ve seen
GPA cutoffs. Things are probably different for smaller companies but
there have been stories recently of companies getting inundated with
resumes when they post positions and they have to have some method of
picking one person out of a thousand resumes.</p>

<p>Sure, and I’ve worked for a big company, a medium sized SV company,
and the government. I could post my individual experience but who
cares? The notion that you need a 3.0 plus to even get a sit down for
a job someplace makes zero sense statistically to me.</p>

<p>Take a look at the last sentence. You’re basically saying that what
I wrote makes zero sense statistically.</p>

<p>You wrote:</p>

<p>Some places, sure. You should always try to get the best GPA you can
regardless. But just because you’re pulling a 2.7 senior year is no
reason to drop out and throw in the towel.</p>

<p>I replied:</p>

<p>Another strawman.</p>

<p>Where did I state that you should ever drop out and throw in the
towel?</p>
