Can a masters make up for subpar grades?
I go to a target school (think HYPS) but due to the high amount of known grade deflation and a few fuck ups at my school I ended up with a 2.8-3.0 GPA. Therefore, I didn't even bother applying to BB/EB. And now I'm stuck with a t2 SA (Nomura, Jeffries, HSBC, Macquairie).
Will a masters (with a good GPA) make up for my bad grades? Or does undergrad GPA also play a role when applying for a SA?
Thought there was grade inflation at Ivys? Regardless, where would you get a masters from and what kind of masters with a 2.8?
Clearly Princeton (only Ivy known for grade deflation, at least relative to peers).
Is this for summer 2019 or 2020? If you kill it this semester (and junior year if the internship isn't for another summer), you will be able to rerecruit for full-time with other banks if you have a return offer to your SA.
