Listed Major GPA on BB app; should I withdraw?
................................................................................................................................................
Have you specified that this is the case on your resume? I would assume if your career services told you to list it as such, that they would also make sure to have you specify whether it's your major or cumulative GPA
.
if you said on your resume "(name of major) gpa: 3.5" or "Major GPA: 3.5" you'll be fine
if you put GPA: 3.5 it might be a problem, but idk if id withdraw
this is how its worded on my resume:
Bachelor of Arts in (Major), Minoring in (Minor), GPA: X.xx
even if it DOES come across as me listing my major gpa, its clearly misleading, and it would take a lot of mental gymnastics to justify that i put it on my resume fairly. i didn't. it wasn't my intention, but it certainly isn't justifiable.
hm thats rough look i still wouldn't withdraw- it might be morally wrong, but if you're feeling bad about it, you can get an offer and use it to speed up any other interviews you might have where you were above the GPA threshold, and then turn down the BB risk offer
Sounds real shady.
I would send a note to your contact at the bank with a note describing that you have attached your updated resume for superday.
List your Cumulative and Major GPA on your updated resume.
In a sense, it will cover your ass if you get hired as you have disclosed this information to the bank.
If the original application had some online portion that locked in the higher major GPA in a section labeled 'cumulative' or anything like that, could put you in a bind, but who knows the likelihood of them caring/enforcing.
