I met a senior manager of a consulting company at a school event and we talked for some time, and he offered me his card. I emailed him asking for a summer internship (although it's pretty late in the game) and he sends my resume to HR with his recommendation. HR says they can't now as all the interns have already started, but he sends me an email back he'll see if there's anything he can do.
Yesterday, I got a call from another senior manager wanting to set up a meeting with me. So we set up a meeting time; he sends me an email where to meet him. Then he sends me another email asking to bring a transcript.
I've scored an interview with a company that usually would look at your gpa before giving an interview (because i have low gpa) but now they want to see my transcript!
