Grades not always the key to jobs
Tribune Media Services
If an academic record could be measured in altitude, Jason Nordin's would be Mt. Killimanjaro
Nordin entered his first round of recruiting last year at Kellogg Graduate School of Management with a 4.0 grade-point average.
He didn't have to think long about whether to include that notable statistic on his resume. He landed the job he wanted with Marakon Associates, a management consulting firm in Chicago.
"It was to my advantage to disclose grades," said Nordin, 30. "Whether that was a deciding factor (in getting the job), it's tough to say."
Nordin's grades certainly didn't hurt his chances. But he's right. The grades question — how much do they matter in getting, or being denied, the job you want? — can be a tricky one. When asked, most recruiters and educators say, "It depends."
And one of the things it might depend on is what school you attend. Some recruiters won't shoot you a glance if you're not in the top 25 percent of your class and didn't attend a top-tier school.
"You want to make yourself the best you can
be, instead of taking classes that are easier to get a better grade. This helps allay those fears."
Neal Shah
University of Chicago student
Hoping to avoid that scenario, students at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business last fall overwhelmingly passed a grade non-disclosure policy. Students, however, can disclose their grades after a job offer has been made.
"You want to make yourself the best you can be, instead of taking classes that are easier to get a better grade. This helps allay those fears," said Neal Shah, president of the student government group that helped lead the effort to pass the student referendum.
Shah, a second-year student majoring in private-wealth management, is entertaining job offers and is set to graduate in June. Even
before passage of the grade non-disclosure policy at the school, Shah said he didn't include his GPA on his resume. But occasionally he was asked.
"I would tell them," he said, adding that the non-disclosure policy passed last fall went into effect for first-year students. "It would be hard to tell a recruiter that I won't give my GPA, because (the policy) doesn't affect me."
Some of the other top business schools, including Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, have policies against disclosing grades during the recruiting process. It takes the pressure off students and encourages them to challenge themselves by taking a course that won't be an easy "A," officials say.
Jerry Bohovich, spokesman for the National Association of Colleges and Employers, said that most employers agree that if a job candidate has a 3.0 or better, or has received academic honors, they should include that information on their resume.
("Employers) assume if it's not there, then (the applicant) hasn't done that well." Bohovich said.
"But even if you don't have a 3.0 or higher, but you have good experience, that will certainly work in your favor."
Still, grades are becoming a growing debate in the world of academia. Professors at colleges and universities are giving out a lot more As today than they did 30 years ago, studies show.
Students, naturally, respond that they're working harder to earn those marks. But some academics fear that so-called grade inflation could be a sign of diminishing education standards.
While educators, students and employers might disagree on how much grades really matter, even in today's hot job market, grades are used as a barometer by recruiters to select the cream of the graduating crop. Unlike seasoned professionals, students usually have less work experience, so grades can become a data point.
In the National Association of Colleges and Employers' 1999 Job Outlook survey, employers listed the top 10 credentials they look for in a job applicant. Communication skills and work experience came in first and second, respectively; grades were sixth, Bohovic said.
Princeton lifts need for additional loans
Tribune Media Services
In an effort to dull the financial sting for students and families, Princeton University this weekend announced that it will no longer require undergraduates on financial aid to take out a loan in order to pay for their education. Instead the plan, effective this fall, will issue additional grants that need not be repaid.
Approved by the university's board of trustees on Jan. 27, the plan nixes loan
requirements in favor of a package that includes grants and required contributions from students working part-time jobs, either during the school year or in the summertime.
"We want to ensure that no student admitted to Princeton feels that he or she cannot attend because it would present a financial hardship," said Princeton President Harold Shapiro. "We have made all of today's improvements with that goal in mind."
According to university records, roughly 40 percent of students in the current freshman class receive financial aid, with 62.5 percent of those students, or one quarter of the entire class, relying on loans to pay for the rest of their tuition.
receiving financial aid could graduate debt-free, provided they fulfill their financial aid and work obligations.
According to the university, students around the country who rely on student loans typically owe between $15,000 and $20,000 upon graduating. Under Princeton's plan, students
Students needing loans in the current freshman class took out an average of $2,615, according to university records. This is down from $4,000 three years ago, before the university introduced a similar plan that catered specifically to students from lower-income families.
The board of trustees approved several other modifications to the university's financial aid policy, including initiatives to help lower-income families pay for health care. Additionally, students receiving financial aid will be required to contribute only five percent of their job earnings and savings toward tuition, down from 35 percent.
The cost of undergraduate tuition and housing for the 2001-02 school year at Princeton will be $33,613.
