If it weren't for covid I was on track to get a 3.0 gpa last semester. This was before COVID started in march, so with COVID I was able to pass-no credit the classes that were pulling me down, and ended up with a 3.85 or something. To answer your question, 3.60 was the lowest I ever got in a semester.
All the W sophomores better have 4.0's next sem
Not at Wharton haha but agree that online classes have made it so easy to get a high GPA.
senior going into IB postgrad - 3.25 but it was balanced out by high GPA in previous semesters
Yeah. 3.3 for me but was when I was taking all my Statistics classes. Other than than never below a 3.8.
Odd question but after you sign your offer and your GPA drops by a little to like 3.6, does it matter? In fact given the usual progression from SA to FT return offer does GPA even matter after "breaking in" through SA?
Matters for buyside recruiting, if you want to stay in IB it doesn’t matter
How would switching to buy side after your 2 years have any correlation with GPA? Wouldn’t they just look at work experience
3.12. fall of sophomore year. Followed it up with a 3.95 and 4.0 the next semesters.
Do you work BB/EB now?
I was at a MM but lateraled to a BB. Also had EB interviews when lateraling. Graduated with a 3.7
3.81 fall sophmore year
2.4 freshman year, 3.9, 3.8 and rest is history
3.0 last semester senior year. Was impossible to care once I got my FT offer.
2.9
My grades significantly dropped since I got my SA offer. Got a 3.1 this semester, going to completely mess up FT recruiting for me
