Both Adam and Bob have done their undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate work in the field of their specialization. Both have done outstandingly well in their grad and post-grad. Not much to separate them except that you find Bob's post-grad work more interesting and fascinating but that could be because of your personal preference and predilection.

Now the difference comes in their undergrad. Adam has done outstandingly well in all semesters of his four year undergrad program. Bob, on the other hand, has done outstandingly well in his first, third and final year of his undergrad but he has given a mediocre performance during his second year of undergrad. In his second year, Bob got an 'F', two 'D's', and two or three 'C's' in the 10-12 courses he took that year. Other than the second year though, there is nothing to separate Bob and Adam when you consider their performance in their first year, third year, and final year of undergrad.

Who would you pick for the position--Adam or Bob? Give you reason.

>>>Go with Bob. He has shown the ability to bounce back from a really low year, which shows gumption. In this case, it also helps that you have an interest the work he has done. That will make for better chemistry even at the outset, which usually bodes well for a long term relationship. Incidentally, if Bob flunked his classes in his 2nd year, it could also have been a function of a little too much partying i.e. a gentleman who has pushed the boundaries at some point. This is also a plus in projects that require out -of -the -box thinking.

What does matter is the ability to think on his feet, ability to think outside the box, and brevity yet effectiveness in communication, both oral and written.

No. In the Doon school. If you can be a manager, I can be from Doon School.

Suppose now there is a third candidate Charles who has done graduate and post-graduate work of the same calibre and quality in the same specialization as Adam and Bob have done but the difference is that Charles has got poor grades all throughout his undergrad.

is your english really poor or do you deliberately introduce grammatical and spelling mistakes in your posts when you write under your b_A handle so as to conceal your regular handle on this forum?
