Mine is a subpar GPA. It sucks when you connect really well with the other person, stay in touch leading up to recruiting and when they say "send me your resume", its like a slap in the face and makes them think twice about recommending you as a candidate.
It sucks because I feel like I've lost personal relationships because I approach networking as a means of finding friends/mentors in the industry, rather than how do I get a recommendation or a job from them. In one instance, when I followed up regarding my application status, he didn't reply and forwarded my inquiry to HR for a response.
So for those of you who have found themselves in a similar situation.. do you preface this up front? Or how have you been able to get around this?

How subpar of a GPA are we talking about? I think you're going about it the right way about trying to develop meaningful relationship though.
3.3 going into 4th year
Are you joking? 3.3? Converting this into UK Grades, that would be a decent average and you would be totally fine for IBD. What are you guys doing in the US?
Would rather have a subpar gpa than a ruptured achilles. Consider yourself lucky
Turn around and pull up your trousers
You might want to be upfront about your GPA when you introduce yourself and try to frame your story around your strengths with that opening.
How would you go about doing it? I can't see GPA ever coming up in an introductory call
