Hi all - worked hard to get a strong GPA and recruit into SA position. This semester has been a mess for me. I'm wondering how important college GPA is for: lateraling, buyside opportunities, and MBA programs (opportunities beyond SA)? Is anything 3.7+ solid enough?

Bro what were you doing lmao.
I’d say just stay above a 3.7. If your GPA is already high and your in a major like finance, it really shouldn’t be that much work
Current first year analyst - understand that for exit opps GPA and test scores do come up so it does matter unfortunately. I think keeping it above 3.5 would be good enough but don’t quote me on it. This is something I wish I knew after getting a return offer.
Could I PM you? Very curious
Yes!
wait did gpa matter in getting the return?
