Also if you get a internal LOR or go to a career fair it will get your application looked at but not an interview. Once they review your app it goes into a tier. So you might get a "fix it" because of an audit, a LOR or career fair but that only means the app was screened and then placed into a tier. Who knows how many tiers there are or what tier they are interviewing from right now, that is the question of the day? I also talked to the VP and he said Delta has 11,000 applications and only 8,000 meet their minimum requirements. Of the 8,000 apps they have gone through 1,000 of them. The only guys off the street that are getting interviews right now, are military or guys with a gpa of 3.8 or higher. It would appear that this is the tier 1 guys. I could be off a little on the gpa but does anyone know of anyone who has gotten a interview that had a gpa of less than that or wasn't military?
It's a lot more wholistic than that. I had a 3.4ish GPA and more than 3 speeding tickets, none recent. I had some other stuff that I guess made up for it and got the call last October. Don't get down if you think you're not close, I was preparing to be at a regional for 2 more years then i got the email to interview. Point is keep your head up and do everything you can and odds are you get a call from someone soon. Playing the who got called before me game will kill you, I know because I did it for awhile and went crazy.
