GS HS GPA Check. Made a mistake. Help!
It has been a long time since I even looked at my HS transcript. I think made a mistake in listing my HS GPA in my GS SA app. I honestly did not remember the exact number of UCAS points I got and I messed it up. I am in the US, but did A-Levels in HS. Anyway I can fix this by being upfront about it?...

I've got a summer analyst offer for a BB in London. Background check is coming soon, just got a few questions! In England, we do GCSE exams when we are 16, and A-levels when 18.

FBI background check
I'm a freshman right now, and was charged with possession of marijuana. There is a pretty decent chance I can have the charges dismissed, and, in my state, my arrest record gets destroyed if I'm acquitted. However, the FBI database will always have my fingerprints. I have a few questions: 1. Are...
Background Check - I think I made a mistake
How anal are BB 's with background checks? I think I made a mistake in the "address history" section. They asked for a full record of addresses I lived in the past 10 years and I just can't remember all the addresses as I have moved more than 5 times. Are they really picky with this?

Hey guys, I just had my phone interview and am awaiting their decision on whether or not they'd like to bring me in for a face-to-face interview.

MBB Background Check -

Reneging consequences for MBB?
I interned at tech F500 in engineering this summer and received a return offer with a rather short deadline. I was forced to accept the offer while still interviewing for MBB consulting since I didn't have anything else and the offer was too good to pass up. I received the MBB offer a couple weeks...

Any risk of "failing" a background check?
I am a senior at a semi-target with an offer at a BB AM shop. They sent me the background check form already and it has space for past work references. I emailed my bosses and they are mostly onside so I think I should be good. I think one of my bosses from my past internships is a little peeved at...
Would HR check a specific class you listed on your resume as experience?
If I took a student-managed investment fund class, would a company usually try to verify that during the background check? On my transcript it's just listed as "Investments", and I don't know how else I could prove it since it was a few years ago. Thanks
work experience evidence?
I did an unpaid internship last year for 1 month, it was good experience and a valuable addition to my CV. I have lost touch with my contact at the company and the company doesn't seem to exist any more (it's based in the far-east whilst I'm in the UK so I can't be 100% sure of this). I have a...

Will I have to take a drug test for my finance job?
This depends on your firm, but for most large financial services firms, a drug test is a standard part of the background check. This is usually before starting your full-time or internship position. If you are worried about this, there's a very simple way to get around the drug test: do not use...
Will they find out about my past in my finance job interview?
Please use common sense and protect your reputation. We would like you to succeed and lying is NOT the way to make that happen. When you are found to have lied to the company that is hiring you, you will most likely be fired. Not only that, but this likely kills all of your exit opportunities and...

Last Interview and Background Check
Okay, I have my last interview with a firm this coming Monday and I have to say I'm pretty excited to get this far. But I have one dilemma.
Got fined for jumping turnstiles. Worried about BG check.
OK, so I got a ticket from a cop this weekend for the jumping the turnstiles in Brooklyn.
