Is it over with a B+

Semester's been a little rough and I am on track to get a B+ in a class that I really shouldn't have. Will IB/ high finance HR notice this and ding me? Do they check grades in specific classes?

No I don't think so. If they did that, they would hardly have anyone to pick from, because a lot of people have situations like yours. It;s more about overall GPA, so work on getting/keeping that up.

Isn't the point to have "hardly anyone to pick from" considering the size of analyst classes is relatively small to # of applicants?

 

Also, the "best and brightest" that those banks are always talking about hiring are becoming harder and harder to find, so it's not like they only hire gods anymore

Any recommendations on what positions I should try out of college? Maybe certain BO roles then lateral to IB?

 

You should try a little less. I cant remember which class it was in college, some management one, but the professor said most CEOs were C students in college.
