Title. After analysing 1,000+ interviews, here's what stood out for tech and business roles specifically:
GPA: Does it actually matter? Yes, more than you think.
- 3.7+ = 41% offer rate
- 3.3 - 3.6 = 30% offer rate
- 2.9 - 3.2 = 14% offer rate
- 2.5 - 2.8 = 11% offer rate
You'll always hear people say grades don't matter. Sure, once you get a full-time job that may be true but internships are no doubt checking transcripts.
Most common technical skills mentioned:
- SQL - 8.0%
- Python - 4.3%
- Java - 2.0%
- Excel - 1.9%
- DSA - 1.8%
The majority of people grinding leetcode fail when it comes to a simple database question. SQL is being asked in interviews 2x as much as Python.
Past internships compound hard:
- 0 past internships - 9% offer rate
- 1 past internship - 19% offer rate
- 2 past internships - 28% offer rate
- 3+ past internships - 40% offer rate
Numbers speak for themselves, the first one is always the hardest.
Those of you applying for Summer 2027, do your research before blindly applying.
