Do your high school grades matter when applying for a job in finance in Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg?
Think you want to work at a bank? Why? Have you got hard skills or soft skills or both? Today I am going to share with you some of the lessons we've learned along the way and tell you the truth about working in banking as we've experienced it.--My name is David Bruno and I am head of innovation at the world's largest wealth manager.To work at a bank in any meaningful role generally you probably do need a higher level of education than high school. High school opens the door to a technical school or university, where you need to learn a profession. It can be anything really, law, business, engineering, basically any profession where you can get started working in a specific job. Most of the folks I know in senior positions have a professional degree where you gain a qualification, things like accountancy and law, that you can apply broadly across an industry.Your grades are just one of many filters in a process of elimination applied by big firms to interview the "right" candidates. But great firms look for diversity and will hire people who show great potential regardless of grades. For me, what I talked about in my interviews was myself, how I was working, doing things. My grades were ok but not the key factor in getting a job. Its about what else you're doing besides classes.Here is the link to my full article about this topic:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/g...And here is the full Episode on YouTube:EP.28 GETTING A JOB AT A BANK #MakerZonePlease give this a Like and a Share if you got free value from this!

Can you get into medical school with bad high school grades?
Several other Quorans have noted that poor high school grades are irrelevant to a medical school application.However, poor HS grades put you at a severe disadvantage. Over half of all US med school applicants are unsuccessful. This result is actually much worse than it appears. In colleges with a strong pre-med program, over a third of the class starts as pre-med but 60–80% withdraw from pre-med before even actually applying to med school. Even with this high attrition, more than half of those remaining are still unsuccessful.A student can take all the required courses at just about any college. At schools with rigorous programs, weak students are strongly discouraged from continuing in pre-med by a very demanding grading policy. The forcefulness of the discouragement varies. At, say, Dartmouth those that survive the weeding out are successful ~90% of the time. Stanford’s surviving pre-meds succeed only 70–75% of the time. At Berkeley, it’s 55%.Poor high school grades mean that you will be attending a less-selective college and encountering less well-prepared classmates. However, these students are not your competition. You will be competing with the students at Dartmouth, Stanford and Berkeley who all had excellent HS grades, lots of APs and prevailed over their own classmates in multiple weedout courses.To obtain admission to med school, a weak HS student will need to find in college a far greater resolve and a far greater work ethic. It’s not impossible, but the odds are long.
High School: Which grade matters most?
The grades which you should try best to achieve A+'s in all depends on what job you're looking for, as they all require the best grades in different subjects. Your results in 11 and 12 are most crucial as they determine how qualified you are to take certain courses that you have to apply for to obtain the job you want. If you don't study enough and don't get the certain grade you need, you either repeat, or loose all your dreams of having that job you wanted, basically. However, I believe that ALL of your grades matter, as they prepare you for the toughest years of your school life; 11 and 12. Hope this helped, good luck :) xx
Does your gym grade matter in high school?
I have straight A's in all classes and currently taking all honors and AP courses. However, I am not very athletic and have a B in gym. Do colleges really stress getting straight A's? I volunteer at a hospital and I am aiming for Northwestern. Thanks PS I am a sophomore
Low GPA in high school can I apply to medical school?
The short answer is "yes." You have to complete your Bachelor's degree first, regardless. You will need to clean up your high school grades. After high school, you need to get your Bachelor's degree and your performance in college, along with your MCAT scores, will determine if you will be accepted into med school. You may need to attend a community college after high school, depending on what your final GPA is and how well you perform on the ACT/SAT.
I want to be a Pediatrician.... do High school grades matter?
If you're only 16, I am not sure how you can be in college classes. I'm assuming you mean you're in highschool classes designed to get you to college. I just applied to med school, and although they didn't ask about my high school marks, you do need excellent marks in university. Most people find that their grades drop somewhat while in university, so it's unlikely that your marks would suddenly shoot up. And if you're in the States, chances are you have to write the MCAT in order to apply to med school. And that has lots of math and physics on it, so if you aren't so good at that, you may have a hard time doing well on the MCAT. Also, you might want to work on your grammar. Nobody trusts a doctor who can't put a sensible sentence together and use punctuation properly.
Are good high school grades important for medical school acceptance?
Other Quorans have given good answers but let’s add an example.Imagine that you’ve enrolled in a selective college with a solid pre-med program. You were a pretty good high school student with B+’s and A’s. Many of your fellow pre-meds will have been straight A students. Many will have taken APs in one or more of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Calculus. Many will repeat these courses in college to boost their GPAs. You, however, were content to get a B+ in pre-Calculus in high school. It was good enough to get into your selective college.Pre-med courses are competitive and graded on a curve. Less than half of your Freshman pre-med cohort will even get to the stage of submitting an application. The rest will give up in futility after getting one or two grades below B. This attrition occurs even at the most selective colleges. What do you suppose your chances will be if you’re competing against students who’ve taken these courses before and already earned A’s?It is very unlikely that you will suddenly transform yourself from a B+ high school student to a straight A college student especially when you are competing against others who have a huge head start.Medical schools will not see your high school grades. If your high school grades are not excellent, Med schools are unlikely to see any of your grades. You will simply be in the 2/3 of Freshman pre-meds who never submit an application.
Are my Grades good enough to go to Medical School?
Great grades...Keep it up, but in terms of Medical school you have to complete your undergraduate work first, getting a BS (Bachelors of Science) in an area of science. Then you take the MCAT and apply to medical school. It helps to achieve a really strong 3.5 or better in a highly competitive college and/or university. But keep up the good work it will definitely help you to get into a competitive college. Good Luck
