Minimum GPA when applying

by MandA_Junkie (Orangutan, 307 Banana Points Points) on 9/19/08 at 7:23pm

Some firms have a minimum GPA when applying. Lets say its says min. GPA of 3.2, and I have about a 3.12. I say I have a 3.2 on my resume. Hypothetically if I got an offer, would they rescind it cause my GPA isn't above 3.2?

3.12 rounds down to 3.1 not 3.2, I'd just write it down if you could good work experience and come from a target I think that they'll overlook your GPA.
