Message: Hello, I'm about to graduate from a top 30 US MBA program and I was just contacted by McK about an associate opportunity in my home country. I am one of those people that never really cared about grades, mostly because in my country they never matter and they are anyway just a reflection of how good you are at reproducing what's written in the books. And old habits die hard, I guess. I also take the most difficult classes because I think that's where I'll learn the most. I don't see why you'd preffer an easy A to a really hard worked B+. That being said, how unnaceptable is a 3.2 GPA (that about how much I had in my undergrad too) and a 710 GMAT. Thank you. M.
