Hint: after high school, nobody cares about your grades anymore.
This is actually not true, especially when applying to Google and a lot of tech, Wall Street, and other blue chip companies - or of course to grad school, law school, or med school.
Which is no reason to call in a bomb threat.
- ohyes 13y agoOnly for a first job, or for more school, yes. But seriously, it isn't important. For any job, it is much more important to have some sort of positive personal connection. (Worked with someone there before, a professor recommends you as talented, an internship). Which is why people pay big bucks to go to Harvard/MIT/Yale? Correct? The objective is rubbing elbows with the elite and making connections. Presumably I can get a similar education elsewhere for less money.
