SA Advice!!!Please!!!!
After reading the thread about how a great deal of summers don't get offers, I wanted to seek some advice from elders on the board, and anyone else who think they might know.
I'm from a top target and am going to be a SA at a BB this summer.
On my resume, my "cumulative GPA" includes grades transferred from my previous college, which bumps it up just a little bit 3.62 to 3.7., however that is my actual cumulative GPA, which I explicitly stated. I didn't list that previous college on my rez, as I was told it wasn't necessary.
Also, at drop time I had just started an internship when I applied so that was on my rez, and then I switched a few days after I applied to a better one (I sent them an update a few days ago, because technically I didnt really work there as I switched within a week of starting and the paperwork never got done) So although I was there for a week before upgrading, I doubt, actually I'm sure their HR doesn't have me on the books. However, it was on my rez when I dropped it so if they use the original for checks, it probably won't show up.
Also, I think the date on one of my high school jobs is extended.
Will the HR folks ding me so much for these technicality based inflations as to preclude me from the FT offer regardless of my performance? Should I tell them about it now? Should I not chance it, opt out now while I'm ahead (before they know) and do something else this summer, as they talked about in a few other posts, and just focus on "knocking the FT interviews out of the park" this fall, as they said? Would love to know what you all think/would do! Gracias!
Should not be a problem.
Agreed. No worries. Go work hard, have fun, and don't sweat the small stuff. Good luck this summer and with full time interviews.

RE: GPA - One of my friends did the exact same thing at a BB and had no problem.
RE: Internship details - You were being as honest as possible. Even if they run a check with HR and something looks fishy, it'll be easy to explain. Plus, you were upgrading (nice job).
RE: High school job dates - I have made the same error in the past (and I went through the BB SA process successfully). As long as it looks honest, you should be fine. You obviously convinced them that you possess some kind of excellence and I sincerely doubt that that hinged on the dates of your high school employment.
