I'm a final year student at a decently reputed private university. Somehow lucked out and found my way into a T1 internship couple months back. The team liked my work and I have an assessment scheduled for June.
Only issue is that my grades are average. Not bad exactly, but just very ordinary grades. Maybe like top 50 percentile if I am being generous.
So when I do have the PPO interview after my assessment, will the grades hold me down too much? How much can good deliverables compensate for poor grades?
