Balancing GPA, internships, job prep

In the US, a 4.0 GPA is nice, but it won't get you a job on its own. A 3.5 GPA with a great internship is much better than a 4.0 with no experience. (The 70/30 Rule): Spend 70% of your energy on keeping your grades solid (above a 3.0 or 3.2 is usually the safety line for big companies). Spend the other 30% on Job Prep—networking, fixing your resume, and practicing interviews.
