🔍 Matching Logic

1. Filter openings by specialization and required GPA.
2. Split by company’s priority: GPA vs. Location.
3. Sort:
   • GPA-priority → highest GPA first.
   • Location-priority → match order of student’s preferred locations, then sort by GPA.
4. Return merged list to the student dashboard.
