Low gpa into Investment banking
I just transferred into a target school for IB. At my previous school I had a cumulative gpa of 2.75. I know that is a disadvantage for me going into IB. I hate to make excuses but my reason for that is that during my freshman and sophomore year, my mom was battling suicide. I’m since transferring, I am doing well and keeping up with my classes. Any advice on how to go about this for IB? Do they only look at gpa from my new school now?
Have a very well thought out but concise explanation for your GPA that you can flawlessly and charismatically relay in interviews if it is ever brought up. Do not bring it up unless asked.
If you’re motivated enough you can find a way into a shop to jump start your finance career even if you just intend to lateral from it in a year to a better bank.
This is all coming from someone who was in virtually an identical situation 2 years ago.
Don’t give up, bust your ass networking and it is 100% possible to get an offer.
Could you expand and share your story? I would love to hear about it!
One other comment is to not take any rejection (or perceived rejection) personally. We are in economically unstable times, and just remember that the person sitting across from you might also be just as worried about his/her next job opportunity as you are.
