Bad Grade During Background Check?
I got an offer through diversity for 2021 at a top BB, and throughout the whole process no one even asked me for or mentioned my grades. I have a 3.46 overall and listed it as 3.5 on my resume, but I have two pretty bad letter grades in there from freshman year (C/D, the classes wouldn’t allow for Pass/Fail). I just sent in my transcript since they asked for it upon sending me the offer, would those two bad grades still be a big deal at this point anymore, enough for them to rescind the offer?
you're fine. you got the offer and didn't lie. My school locks official transcripts unless you've paid all of your outstanding dues - did you have to send official or could it be unofficial?
unofficial, we don’t have access to the official
I would never have rounded up the gpa as you can get screwed for this. I had a friend of a friend who put down like a 1500 SAT who got a 1490 and got an offer pulled. It may seem trivial, but always better to be completely transparent.
How did they check sat scores, was this for a freshman internship?

OP of the comment here - Look, only repeating was I was told. Maybe he was exaggerating, but I have no idea. I don’t believe it was for an IB role and they asked him to send his scores and transcripts for the position. In reality, you didn’t earn a 3.5 when you earned a 3.46. I know I’m being a picky pain in the ass when saying it, but is posting a better GPA through rounding materially different in the premise of rounding up your SAT? Both are doing it for the same reason, to inflate your stats in order to look better on paper.I always slide my GPA out 2 decimals even if it’s a .8 or a .9. I’m not putting down something I didn’t earn just to look better.

I agree with what you are saying in that they are different. But you only round up to make yourself look better - it’s the same reasoning in both scenarios.

Intern if you think rounding a 3.65 to a 3.7 is even remotely considered unacceptable you should not enter finance.
You ever hear of adjusted EBITDA lol? That’s the sort of rounding that would blow your mind.
Your friend is lying, everyone that isn’t a complete moron knows you round up to one decimal place if it helps you. If I view a resume with a 3.7, it prob means he has a 3.65–that’s just the way it is. Also, if a job has a requirement that your gpa must be a 3.5 you can apply with any gpa this isn’t school, business has no rules minus breaking the law and outright lies. Again, as the other person mentioned, no one rounds test scores it makes no sense, so that’s just a lie. That said, people don’t actually care about your transcript, it’s a box check to make sure you didn’t completely fabricate your existence, not to eliminate kids that they got a B+ in honors calc when they actually got a C.
how tf did they check his SAT scores?
Its listed on transcripts
