Honor Code Violation + Grade Drop; Recruiting for IB SA 2026
Hi guys; so, I fucked up because I'm recruiting for IB SA 2026 roles this/next semester and this semester, I recieved an honor code violation and will get an F in one of my classes.
My school won't have a finalized version of my grades for this semester (especially because the honor code violation proces won't be complete and give me a final grade until mid-Jan ish). I am aiming to already submit my applications to banks at this point, so is it harmful/untruthful to report my current grade (3.85) on my resume? I calculated my changed gpa and it'll drop to like a 3.5 ish, but this won't happen until after I submit my applications.
Any insight on how fucked or screwed I am for this current cycle is appreciated. I know I fucked up and I've been really struggling with continuing to do coffee chats and sending cold-emails while I'm currently going through this. I attend a semi-target btw.
Ask for forgiveness rather than permission. But beware you could get fcked hard by background check so keep interviewing. Even with offer on hand
Can you appeal?
