With the amount of lying about GPA and test scores that occurs today, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if someone asks for a transcript. The subsequent moral hazard that usually takes place on this forum of justifying lying with the fact that “banks don’t care about you, why should you care about them” is just gross. Call me crazy, but integrity is far more important

great point above. Also if I'm vetting someone in college that doesn't have their GPA listed, I'd definitely be concerned about it. Hopefully your extracurriculars can make up for it

Appreciate your thoughts. Can I ask if there's a formal baseline.. I'm at 75% or 3.0/4.0 scale? I'd explain my story with how I was managing a demanding part-time job whilst studying and the impact of Covid-19 but how does this differ or change your opinion because obviously don't want to come in with a sob story as everyone has their own hardships haha.
