I got into GS' SA program and was able to convert it successfully into a full-time role. The contract that I was given (which I assume most people get) is that I am simply required to graduate with no grade requirement.
Because of Covid and my own fault, I doubt I will be graduating with a good GPA. I always see that GS likes academic excellence. Would I be looked down upon if my GPA is not good?
