“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
why would it be out of 4.3?
the consulting GPA cutoff is actually 4.5 believe it or not
I suppose it would depend on whether your school calculates it out of 4.0 or 4.3, wouldn't it?
There isn't an official minimum cutoff (but unofficially, yes 3.5/4.0 for a competitive major at a target school is basically right).
Thanks devildog2067. I guess some people dnt know that a significant number of universities (even target) use a 4.3 gpa system.
What schools use 4.3?
