Can anyone tell me when applications are made for internships and grad position how does a firm differentiate students across universities?
for example, macquarie has 4 gpa for both D and HD, Usyd has GPA 7 for Hd, 6 for D etc. UNSW uses WAM instead.
Heard people telling me they convert GPA into Wam by dividing by 4??? lol, surely that is not right, as a student with 4 gpa would end up with 100 WAM??!!
I personally think firms dont look at your GPA at all. All they do is add up your marks and divide it by number of units you have done, which is basically WAM.
thinking of doing 1 easy unit next sem to jack up my GPA/WAM so i need to find out how it works. thanks
