"I've only run into a handful of software companies who have a hard grade cutoff anywhere. None of the big names (MS, GOOG, etc) do it"

Isn't Google notorious for requiring a 3.0 or better GPA?




They interviewed me :P (no, didn't get the job), My GPA was about 2.8 at the time. Also, if Google has a mark cutoff, it is not made public (suggesting that there are circumstances where they will ignore a low grade).

NVidia on the other hand made their intentions very clear, and basically said to not bother if your GPA was below 3.5, right in the job description.
