IB Online applications mistake

I applied recently to a few positions, but messed up and put a lower GPA than I had. I withdrew my applications and now I can no longer re apply on my account. Should i make a new account and reapply or would this be a bad move?

Can you shed some light on how exactly you can state a wrong GPA on multiple applications (i assume)?

Anyways, i would simply call HR and tell them about it. Make it clear your withdrawal was merely a technical move and that you did not want to pass on the opportunity to work for them + you tried to avoid bothering someone at HR about it.

You should be fine.

 

I received an E grade back in 2015, it should of had gotten appealed, but in the end it wasnt. Im retaking the class right now in summer since the E brings my gpa down and most likely finishing with an A. I put my GPA as a 3.5 (weight down from the E), but after asking on the forums I was advised to put my GPA without the E as I should be able to get the grade in time for when they ask for my transcripts. I had already applied to 3 places around this time though, I managed to fixed my application in 2 spots of the spots I applied, but one of them doesnt let me adjust my application.

 

Don't worry too much about it. You can create a duplicate account in order to get the application submitted. People understand that online application systems can be a headache, and a banker couldn't care less about whether you had to create a new account. During the interview process, just mention it to HR so that they keep track of your application properly.

Good luck!
