will I get in trouble for not updating my GPA?
To start with, I'm from a top-tier college with average gpa hovering around 3.60
However, for this last spring quarter I had some health issues and also attended classes of lecturers who ended up being hard graders after all. Because of this, my GPA dropped from 3.60 to 3.44 ish. The thing is I applied for summer internship position in June but because the newly adjusted GPA wasn't officially out back then, I put in 3.60 as my gpa for the resume. Now, I got a call today that I got through 1st round interview. If I make the 2nd round interview, I'll get the internship. However, if they find that my gpa is like 0.15 lower than what's written on the resume, would it cause trouble? Should I notify them of my fall in gpa before they make their final decision? Any advice would very much be appreciated.





If you have an email contact,
If you have an email contact, I would send an email along the lines of here is my updated resume (with adjusted GPA). The fact that you got past 2nd round makes GPA less pertinent. Just be ready for why GPA lower. My guess is everything for a summer internship will flow through fast, but best to be honest.
You're fine. Just bring
You're fine. Just bring updated copies of your resume to the 2nd round and don't even bring any attention to it. If they ask, say that was your GPA at the point of application, before you learned what your new GPA was. It's not like it tanked that much.
Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
First of all, thank you for
First of all, thank you for your advices. Although the internship I'm applying for is not related to finance, it's known for providing great networking opportunities so I really hope to get in (meeting CEOs at events and parties that we are organizing and so on..)
So based on my experience with first round interview, it seems like they are quite good at organizing stuff for interviews...in other words I would actually not have the opportunity to hand my resume to the interviewees..so in that case, I guess I would remain silent until they happen to bring it up (though in reality they won't notice it until they happen to be wanting to verify my resume after they make the final decision..) Basically it is sort of a government-related non-profit organization. Thank you for the tips. I guess I am little too sensitive about these issues as I don't have that much applying experience yet.
