In his blog, Peter Byrne addresses his concern that graduate students from commerce, no matter how well they have done in their university careers, are released into the harsh business world without any differentiation. When not releasing marks of students in business school, firms will then judge students based on which school they graduated from and not how well they did in their respective schools. Peter finds this makes it seems unfair to students who excelled in university.
I disagree, although good marks in a business school reflects to solid hard skills, the ideal businessman has a combination of hard and soft skills. Thus, marks do not change the opinion of future interviewers as much as it would in other fields.
Moreover, I find that the goal for all business students is not about getting marks, but to gain experiences, to have a better feel and understanding of the world. Since in the business world, experience means much more than grades. And I believe that all students who graduate from Sauder, no matter their grades, learn all the skills necessary to succeed.
