How should I present the GPA?

Hi guys! I just received an offer from graduate school, and it's a one year program. I know the recruiting for IBD begins around Sept. How should I present my GPA though? Should I put expected, cuz my graduate school grades won't come out till late December. One of my friend from JPM told me to just put expected and BS about undergrad GPA is this feasible? Need advice on this guys.

Thanks

Thanks a lot Sil for your advice. It was really helpful. sorry about those bumps.......... Yeah, probably that's the only thing I can do. what if I listed my GPA as 3.6 and 3.5 and come out as all As in December before they asking for transcript and conduct background check. Will this be a problem? I am thinking about this cuz my undergrad GPA is not above 3.5, I am kind worried though I know there are other factors matter in the recruiting.

 

Does it mean it's better to go for off-cycle recruiting if I want to use my graduate grades for application? Thanks a lot for the help.

 

Thanks. My undergraduate GPA is like 3.3, that's why I am thinking going to grad school to boost my GPA a little bit. The time of recruiting is just not good. Does some BB still recruit for candidates in early Jan.? Thinking about networking first and submit the application in early Jan.
