UG institution : Virginia Tech
UG major : Industrial and Systems Engineering.
UG GPA : ready for this? 2.48....( silence of the lambs...)
Why so low ?
No excuses - Had a blast in college.

So - the only good thing that happened this year - I accpeted a job offer in chicago and will be moving there in Jan.

So any thoughts?
