Transfer Student - What to do about GPAs?
I noticed that some firms are already releasing applications. I transferred to my current school this year, so I don't have a GPA yet. On my resume, I have listed both my current school and my previous school, with my GPA from my previous school included under the previous school. However, I was unsure about how to address the fact that I don't have a GPA for my current school yet. Should I just leave my resume as is (no GPA line under new school, old school GPA under old school)?
Yes. BBs and EBs care more about GPA as a differentiator, LMM and MM (save HL) it generally isnt a big deal if you have relevant experience. Best of luck recruiting, its a bloodbath out there.
So keep it as is?
Upcoming SA applications won’t be due until next year, so you should have a finalized GPA for this semester by then. When you do, definitely include both your current schools GPA and the school you transferred in from, unless it’s not worthy to include.
Couple of banks have already released / planned release dates are before the semester ends. For SA 2027, sorry should have added that
Yes, but they won’t start reviewing apps until after the year ends, and won’t close until January at the earliest.
Edit: Sorry, I see that now. Stifel/KBW for instance closes 12/14 this year… in that case, I personally would include the GPA you anticipate achieving this semester since you should have a pretty good idea by 12/1. Ex. I was on pace for a 4.0 my transfer semester (and was confident in doing so) but to be cautious put down 3.9 in case of any late semester blunders. If you’re truthful about your performance, I don’t see the hurt in anticipating your expected GPA, especially if you’re a top student. You could also just put “Expected GPA” as a line item.
Just wondering, I am also a transfer student. I got a 3.9 at my old school, but at my new school it will probably be a 3.5 due to a curve that only the top 30% of the class can get As. Since 3.5 is a lot lower, would it still be better to keep them seperate or average them and label it “cumulative GPA”
