Major and GPA ...
Hi,
I am a rising junior in a decent European university, I plan to apply for some major consulting/banking firms in the US for a summer internship.
In our school we get grades on a 0-20 scale, best students have usually 16, worst rarely less than 6. This is a major difference with your A, B, C.. I found on a website a conversion model to convert my grades into a GPA, I figured that would speak much more to a US recruiter, especially because the GPA i get is 3,75 (over 2 years).
However, I don't think there is anything official with that, and for sure my school will never provide me with any official transcript with a GPA on it.
Question, should I put it or not ? what would you do ?
2nd question : I am a finance major I heard that the finance major always get loads of technical questions during I banking interviews. Do you think Finance major is a real plus (cause I know I bank take people from various majors) and I should keep it, or it is such a disadvantage during interviews that it's not worth it ?
I 'll appreciate your insights !
Most US banks won't really consider you. There're plenty of kids at American schools who will fill the American positions, while the kids at European schools fill the European positions.
That said, just put down your real grades on 20. A bullshit conversion table means shit.
