Horrible GPA this semester with a IB SA 27 offer, what do I do?
Title, I transferred to a different school this semester, and spent the entire semester here pretty much recruiting for SA 27. Managed to get the offer, but my GPA is absolutely abysmal (think under 3), compared to the 3.9 I had at my previous school
Am I fucked? I'm not sure if my firm checks transcripts, but I might need to use all 3 of my withdrawals this semester. I am also planning on taking a few summer classes this summer in order to bring it up.
What do I do?
Just do everything to get it as high as you can. If they do check transcripts they won’t check for another 2 or 3 semesters. You’ll need a good gpa anyway for FT recruiting or On Cycle
Congrats on the offer after transferring - it really is a hustle
Will do, thanks man
What is a general rule of thumb for GPA needed for FT/on cycle recruitment?
Not certain myself but both processes are 10x more competitive than SA recruiting. Based on what I’ve seen for on cycle pe you need a 3.8 (but you’ll have one or 2 more semesters to prepare for that before FT IB recruiting). For FT IB just get it as high as possible don’t even try to like “just get to a 3.7.” Above a 3.8 and I’d say you’re fine anywhere, 3.7+ will prob be fine for anything but EBs. Ofc all of this is provided you did good networking, interned at a decent bank/group and the return offer makes it a lot more realistic. Without RO it’s a fucking beast but I’ve seen it done
Same here I have a 3.5-3.6 now compared to 3.9
sub 3 for me, hopefully with summer classes I'll get it up to a 3.4
