Forwarding Resume

When you have a contact at a bank (VP/MD level) that asks you to send your resume to him, should you still apply through your school for that position?

I'd like to avoid applying to the bank through the school if possible as I would then have to submit my transcript (big negative) as well. It would be much better if I can just give them my resume with cumulative gpa on it.

This is for Toronto positions btw, I don't think they ask for transcripts in the states.

Usually you'll have to

Usually you'll have to follow through with formal recruiting procedures, especially if this is for a BB firm. Despite your transcript, you should be fine as far as getting an interview; having a contact will out-weigh some bad grades, especially if your overall GPA is good.

I wouldn't apply through

I wouldn't apply through your career center until HR asks you to. My guess is your contact will forward your resume to the appropriate person and they will then contact you asking you to formally register and apply. I would wait until they contact you to avoid creating confusion regarding your application.
