2.91 Cum GPA for PWM?
A lot of PWM applications say they look for a min 3.0 GPA. Is it worth rounding to a 3.0 for full time applications? My GPA should be at 3.0 by the end of this semester (easy classes, expected all A's) and I will drop one of my low GPA classes as well but during the application process it won't be above the threshold.
I'm applying for full time pwm roles like the financial advisor development program at UBS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Based on previous WSO threads, rounding your GPA from 2.91 to 3.0 for full-time applications, especially when the minimum requirement is 3.0, is generally not advisable. Here are some key points to consider:
Accuracy and Integrity: It's important to maintain accuracy and integrity in your application. Misrepresenting your GPA can lead to issues if the discrepancy is discovered during the hiring process.
Future GPA Improvement: Since you expect your GPA to reach 3.0 by the end of the semester, you might consider highlighting this in your application or cover letter. Mention your current GPA and your expected GPA, explaining the steps you are taking to improve it.
Alternative Strategies:
In summary, while it might be tempting to round up your GPA, it's better to be transparent and focus on other strengths and strategies to enhance your application.

Did you apply? I have a 3.04 and I’m also searching for roles in PWM
How do you guys get a 2.9? How is that even possible?
2.91 rounds to 2.9. 2.95 rounds to 3.0. Also, I thought we had a discussion about not saying "cum" GPA. Just say cGPA or cumulative GPA.
