Hello,
I am a second-year student at a target school with a solid resume and good experience, however, I was really sick this year and my grades suffered greatly due to my illness. How can I explain this to IB recruiters, especially the banks that require having at least a 3.5 GPA in order to be considered? Does anyone also know much about German banks as well?
Thank you
