Additional Information: I am fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, in a target school. my resume is decently solid.

should be good enough to land u some interviews
anything above 3.5 is acceptable, below 3.5 and your experiences+school starts to come into play. ^you can get interviews if you have 3.2 if you have solid experiences and are from an at least okay school not doing an 'easy' major. banks in hk literally get ~1000 of resumes to look at during SA recruiting, a 3.2 sometimes can result in an automatic ding if there nothing that stood out at inital glance, but a 3.6 will warrant you at least a few more seconds to check out your experiences.
You can get interviews for HK S&T at top BBs (MS,GS) with a 3.5 and not much experience. It shouldn't be much diff for IBD. What will really matter is your usually 2 phone interviews. Impress both of them
Dude, a 3.6 is a fine GPA. You need to stop thinking about that bullshit and figure out how to impress the interviewers. You're just wasting energy and time worrying about your GPA.
Can't do anything to change your GPA now, but you can work your ass off and be well prepared for your interview.
Don't listen to these ass clowns above. You learn more in the trenches than you do in the classroom.
3.6 is more than enough
Prev work experience is much more important. I had a 3.7 coming into recruiting with a solid resume and I didn't get first rounds for most places
GPA for hk ibd sa 2012 (Originally Posted: 11/14/2011)
hi, guys:
I am applying HK IBD SA 2012, and I go to an ivy league and did one boutique and one MM internship but my GPA is only 3.5. So any chance for me to get the first round interview?
Any comment is welcomed.
ur fine imo. otherwise i'd be fucked
I'm wondering if they have another GPA cutoffs and my resume will be thrown out automatically if my gpa didn't pass the line.
Depends on which Ivy. Difference between Harvard and Cornell.
asian kids always have incredibly high GPA. be aware.
my friend said hk hr only care the reputation of your school not much your gpa, is that true to some degree?
