Are transcripts always requested??
I recently received an offer from a BB for a FT analyst program which will begin in early July. I have a feeling that a transcript will be requested as part of my background check. Does HR scrutinize the transcripts? I am only asking because I had an F on my transcript. I disclosed this in one of my interviews, and explained what happened. The interviewer appreciated my honesty. I re-took the class and received a B+, and I managed to get my GPA back up to a 3.5 upon graduation. Do you think my offer will be rescinded?? It's been a very long process to land this job and I've worked hard, would hate to lose it...





The background check company
The background check company will directly request your transcript from the university mostly - that's why you sign that Disclosure form.
And, no, your offer most probably won't be revoked.
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
Yea you'll be fine --
Yea you'll be fine -- particularly because you already disclosed it in an interview.
Thanks for the feedback!

They do the background check
They do the background check to look for huge red flags, such as a criminal record or blatant lying on your resume. Having one F grade won't be a problem, especially when you already brought it up.
