Morgan Stanley background check

Hi all,

I got a SA offer from MS. I have a 2.9 ugrad GPA but 3.97 grad GPA. I think that's why I was admitted. My ugrad GPA isn't listed on my resume but it came up in the first interview. (naturally) I disclosed it immediately. I got the offer anyway.

Now, it's time for the background check. Do you think I'm in trouble? I'm so anxious.

Thanks!

Hey there, congrats!!!

Just a quick question, if I'm correct, SA offers (at least from what I've seen) are generally interesting for U-grad students right?

Do you think you had any difficulty due to being older? (completed grad school). And what made you seek that offer?

Congrats again
