Was off by .08 on gpa. Will this be an issue and how to handle it?
Had an interview with a very small IB boutique firm with fewer than 10 employees for an internship. 5-100 million.
Was asked what my gpa was and being that I had not checked since last semester I was thinking my summer grades would of pushed me up more and said 3.4 but when I checked just now online I am seeing my gpa is actually a 3.32. This was honestly a mistake I would never intentionally lie to a firm.
Considering emailing them saying I just want to be 100% transparent with you my gpa is actually a 3.32 but at the same time do not want them to think I was trying to exaggerate it or that I make mistakes, also would rather them not be looking at my course work being a non target if they were not going to check anyways. .08 is not a huge difference do you think this would be grounds to not hire me as an intern?
Other then this I feel i did excellent during the interview. They were asking about my schedule for during the week and said that they would give me a call in a few days after finishing up rest of interviews. They were very impressed that I have ran two successful businesses while still in college.
The other day I also received an offer to intern with a commercial real estate broker. I could always do the CRE internship this semester and try to lock in the IB for next semester with that same firm any tips for how to word that in an email?
I am working harder and harder in school and my grades have been increasing, my gpa should be in the range of 3.4-3.6 by the end of this semester.
You'll be fine. A small boutique might not even check tbh
Do not stress with that..focus on improving it..and that's it..they will not check..I do not even think they have access to this info at all..
Nothing to see here really. If it were .8 that might be an issue but as it stands I don't think you'll have a problem.
scum!
