Summer Associate Applications

I noticed a lot of the banks have deadlines before the MBA first semester is even finished. Do you apply without a GPA? JP Morgan's summer associate deadline is December 12th and I am in the midst of finals at that time.

I am trying to figure out if I am better of waiting on applications so that I have my MBA GPA in. I should have a 3.9+ this semester and I think it would take their eyes off my less than stellar undergraduate GPA. For some of the banks, I have no choice, but to send in the application without my first semester in bschool.

If you're in a top 10 business school you'll likely be okay...

Whatever the situation may be don't include your UG GPA if it's bad (less than 3.5)

If you have no choice put to fill that out online then that's a shame... but hopefully they don't make you do it at every single bank!
