I stand by my theory that it is a total person concept the hiring folks look for. Internal recs, quals, GPA, extra curricular, etc. They all play into getting you the interview. Interview gets you the job. Good luck lads!
How long ago were you hired is the real question? I have a buddy that got hired with a 2.8 GPA but that was several years ago when they didn't have 10,000 applications. He even said himself that he doesn't think he would get called today if he were to apply. May how times have changed.
