Am I screwed... Low GPA. rising penultimate year
So with COVID 19 and classes going online, I didn't manage to focus that well and that resulted in bad grades this semester. I'm probably going to get a B in two of my courses, bringing down my CGPA to a 3.4. My major GPA is also going to be pulled down and it's only going slightly higher at 3.5. Am I screwed for recruiting next year? I have relevant finance internships although they are local boutique firms, with one corporate finance internship in my freshman year and an upcoming one in asset management. Is there anything I should prepare (e.g. explaining my low GPA) for upcoming recruiting? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
When you said low GPA in the title, I thought you were going to say something like a 2.7. I’m not sure how hard it is relative to a 3.7+ but I know several people at targets who got BB FO with 3.5s.
I was just worried because I know I will be competing with kids with a 3.9 CGPA and relevant experience. Also, any idea if firms will reject giving me an interview because of my low GPA, as they seem to have internal GPA cutoffs?
