  1. When do the background checks happen for FT? I ask this because I want to include my grades from first semester of senior year.

Thanks for the response, but it still doesn't answer my question.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

It varies by bank. My bank just recently started background checks. But it's irrelevant when they do the background check because you're going to be applying for FT before you're done with your first semester senior year.

I'm guessing you want to put a GPA on your resume that would include a strong senior year 1st semester. Just know if you do that you're obviously risking them asking for a transcript before those grades are posted as well as not doing as well as you hoped. If your transcripts reflect a gpa lower than your resume, you're toast.

"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
 

True.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

In other words, you want to put grades that you have yet to receive onto your resume? As said many times about you before, you're a dick.

If I ever caught anyone doing this, I'd have HR blacklist them from my bank immediately.
