Would grade averages even matter to BBs or EBs?
I am at a target/ super target and I am a math major. I also take programming courses cuz why not and like one question on the exam was something like derive a formula and implement it in your code which is kind of crazy, but what i wondered is, if the test is absurdly hard and average is like 60%, would any bank even care if you said like ohh im not the only one that did unwell like half the class failed. Or do they just expect you to still be getting 100/100 even if the test is like unreasonably hard. Like when I attach my transcript and they see I got 85% when the average was 50-60% and top grade was like 90%. will they be like "wow okay this guy did pretty well compared to everyone else". I am really hoping that me being at a target school kind of boosts my chances even with a shitty gpa.
Also idk why but I heard even if like average was like 50% they would barely curve it so I feel like I am pretty fried.
What is your gpa
is this british grading?
Yes. There are minimum HR-led GPA cutoffs. All the top schools have grade inflation anyways, and if you cannot get a 3.5 GPA at a target / super-target you are below average. The average GPA at some schools like Brown is like 3.9, and Harvard is notorious for giving A- and A's to everyone. I strong beleive if you are willing to work hard, you can over the span of two years get yourself to at least that level.
Actually Harvard got really strict with their grading literally this year because of some stupid internal drama/power struggle lol like they did a crazy 180 with the grading
Going to just add this, at my MM if you don’t have a GPA listed it’s instant discard, no matter what really
really? I heard you should avoid putting your gpa if its lower than ~3.6-3.7
Yeah exactly, we basically know if someone doesn’t have a 3.5 or higher they aren’t including it. So we discard instantly.
We have interviewed people with 3.5s-3.7s if the rest of their resume is solid
HR will usually say something in the posting like, minimum gpa of 3.x, ive seen 3.0, 3.2, 3.5 . if no gpa informal policy is to assume its below the minimum
