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.
aight, man it always sucks if you have to gamble cause of shit like that. Crossing my fingers that it all works out - would be a boss move if you could completely eliminate the E from your GPA without anyone ever hearing about it.
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!
