3.81 GPA - too low / am I fucked?
So I fucked up and got a B+ in one of my coding classes this semester and now I’ll have a 3.81 going into sophomore spring, and it probably won’t get any higher going forward cuz upper div CS classes are difficult. I’m a computer science and business double major at a semi target — did I screw myself? Is a 3.8 that different from a 3.9?
Here is my take based on what other people have said to similar topics - 3.8 is fine, don’t let it drop any further. I think people in the industry would say as long as you network and know your shit this won’t hurt you. That is just what I’m guessing but listen to others who chime in.
Dude fuck off. A 3.8 is spectacular, that’s literally a fucking mix of most A’s and A-‘s.
Listen here dude, that’s fucking fine. People on here are ridiculous. Even a 3.6 is fine dude. Don’t worry about it.
Yes you’re totally fine with a 3.8, more so if you go to a target. Remember, GPA is only a check in the box and a 3.8 passes the visual cue test when analysts evaluate resumes. You should be networking and doing interview prep as your main priorities. If you don’t get an interview down the line, most likely it won’t be because of your GPA.
With that attitude, I would definitely work on your behaviorals. I doubt it’s gonna be your GPA that holds you back.
Went eb with a 3.7 chill out
yep - all future prospects went out the window with thatB+
I broke in with 3.1 and connections. You’re fine
So you broke in with connections
Definitely build your soft skills while maintaining your GPA. As long as you stay in the 3.7+ range and are at a good school, the GPA is fine. The rest (and really important) is about them not wanting to work with a robot.
You're going to have to practice flipping burgers because everyone knows the cutoff GPA for all investment banks is 3.82.
This is the worst post in WSO history
you clearly missed the 'does a 4.0 GPA seems too pretentious for recruiting?' post
