Lying about GPA
I have nothing to lose. My current GPA is so trash (2.7) so my only hope is lying about it. How socially acceptable would it be to lie about my GPA, then follow up by sending AI generated transcripts? It's not like I was going to get accepted to your firm the normal way why not just try to finesse the system

Some firms require the college to send the transcript directly, which could potentially put you in quite the pickle. Total ban from not just Wall Street but any financial services company in the United States and maybe even law firms. Biggest things to watch out for:
1. Your GPA is so low you might just want to accept that you’re retarded and filter yourself out at this point, focus on a boutique accounting job or something.
2. See 1.
3. If it works, remind yourself that this shit doesn’t fly on the job, you will go to jail if you try it again.
OP here, I was mainly just curious if banks directly contacted schools for transcripts because I was just thinking about rounding up a 3.65 to a 3.7. I'm not retarded enough to have a 2.7 lol apologies for the clickbait guys
Do not lie, it’s such an easy thing to get black balled in this industry and I’d rather hear you overcame it than it become your demise
Do not lie. Just don’t put it on your resume and get networking. You most likely won’t pass on paper but if you’re savvy enough over the phone, you might just get a shot somewhere and once you’re in the industry, you’re in. Also, if it’s a large institution, they have background checking companies confirm it with your university. You might be able to pull it off with a small local/regional boutique but I wouldn’t recommend.
Hope you know most banks have some sort of background check process, my bank in particular used HireRight - they contacted my university for confirmation of my GPA and major.
Yeah some banks don’t ask for transcript, some don’t even verify. But a lot of these background checks will handle the verifications if I’m not mistaken. I’ve seen people do it before, and I’ve seen people lie about graduate year as well. All I’ll say is take this with a grain of salt.
Agreed, I've worked at 3 banks at the internship/campus graduate level, and there is huge variance in how closely this is verified. One didn't ask for transcript at all, one asked for an unofficial one, and then one wanted my official. There was overlap in which BG check company was used too so it seems to be bank policy.
go for it lol. Worst case scenario Wendy's needs somebody behind the register.
If rising sophomore at target school, you should be able to transfer to school within t30 despite shit GPA. That gives you a GPA reset. You will then delay grad date to December of 2029 and recruit next year. Worst case scenario you don’t get into a better school and can get your gpa up to at least a 3.3 by end of 2027.
If you want to spring transfer as to have a school specific gpa when recruiting in 2027, there are some targets/semi-targets which have a spring transfer program.
Highly unlikely you can transfer to a top school w a GPA that’s this bad
One thing you can do is put your Major GPA if it's higher alongside your regular one. If you major in something relevant and it's >3.3 you can chalk it up the lower score to a super hard engineering class that you bombed.
I’d say run it and whatever happens happens bro
