European graduate school GPA

Hey all,

I am currently a graduate student at a target European university.

I graduated with distinction from my BSc and got 720 at GMAT.

Nevertheless, I did not start my grad studies with the best grades, and I suppose I will end up with an "average to good" GPA, but not exceptional.

I am now targeting IB roles in London and Europe. For those in the industry, do you look at grad school GPA when screening CVs? What if I do not report it?

I had several interviews in the first semester of the MSc, but as I had just started, I suppose I was not required to provide a GPA.

I would like to know your opinion, thank you very much!
