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!

I don't know what all the possible combinations might be - but they definately seem to apply a "big picture/total package" approach to looking at each canidate. I don't think anyone will be excluded for having a less than stellar gpa, provided there is something else about their history that pulls them above the crowd.

Echoing this question - I re-look through the whole application every time I update and still haven't seen where they would want you to put community service......
